1969 442

Hi everyone, I just bought a 1969 oldsmobile 442 convertible which needs a bit of work, I am not an expert about cars so i'll definitely need some help

I am now trying to find the headers that would fit, it has a stock exhaust I suppose to would the 2.5" collector be good for it ?

Thanks

Welcome. Pretty much all headers will come with 3" collectors and a set of reducers to neck down to 2.5".

Most headers come with a collector reducer that should adapt down to whatever exhaust is currently on your car.

BTW, welcome, post some pictures when you get a chance.

I have a set of Hooker Super Comp headers that I had re-coated / ceramic coated 2 yrs ago and ran for 1 year after that for sale.

fit perfect on my 69 442
