Is the tubular exhuast ( the headers that hook up to the air pump), I think thats what it is called worth purchaseing. I haven't decided wether I am going to get headers. But if I did I don't really want to mess with the air pump. I'm trying to go for a stock appearence but with some performance modifications. Does anyone know how much the air pump headers vs. the regular headers horspower gain is. _________________ do you bleed blue bowties?

Yes it is worth it IMO. There are two companies that make them for the late elkys. Hooker and Edelbrock. Both are a good product but the Hooker is the better choice.
They are both E-legal and have all emission hook ups.
You might want to consider doing the exhaust at the same time. The reason I say that is that you can use the headers for the L69. It has a slightly better Y-pipe and a larger cat outlet and the cat flows better.
They have a four bolt flange instead of the 2.5 slip on cat. _________________ Robert Adams
