If you put headers on an 1978 elcamino do i have to change the whole exhaust?

The answer would be "No, you don't have to". If you installed exhaust headers to improve performance then you might consider if your current exhaust system compliments the headers. Headers are designed to help evacuate exhaust gases and minimize back pressure. If an engine has exhaust headers that collect into a small single muffler and pipe then the effort is somewhat defeated. BUT, if the headers are installed for the "cool factor", and there is nothing wrong with that, then go ahead and use the stock pipes or as much as you can.


Can you put headers on a Subaru?

Yes, you can. There is plenty of offers in the Net for that. Technically, you cannot put headerS on the engine, but you can put A header (unless of course, you want to do a true dual exhaust system and get a custom set of headers, but that would be very un-4 banger like)

It would be a waste of time and money. You would have to make a special adapter to hook the exhaust to the manifold. On a turbo header, the exhaust hooks to the turbo and the turbo to the manifold.

How much horsepower does a 350 engine in a 71 Chevelle SS have It has a 171 comp cam flowmaster exhaust and a 4 barrel carb?

Depends on which 350 it has. One has about 240 hp and another engine offered in 71 was a 270 horsepower 350. With an exhuast and the mild cam I would place it give or take around 20-25 hp more than the original stats. Headers would be a big gain with the aftermarket exhaust.
