Headers Information

[sceneiskeen]

Alrighty.

I have two options right now money wise.

#1
New hi flow cat to replace the stock cat. And a new muffler to replace the Flowmaster 80series i have on there.

OR

#2
New headers to replace the stock ones i have. I want either pacesetters or rksport. Can you give me information on how the headers install and go from the engine down onto the exhaust i have now?

Re: Headers Information

Headers should be your goal, rather than a high flow cat.

Can you give me information on how the headers install

Re: Headers Information

I need to know what will need to be done for installation.

Will anything be needed besides the headers, seals.

will it hook straight up to my motor and to my exhaust i got now.

Re: Headers Information

why wont it hook to the exhaust he has now?

Re: Headers Information

Cause the stock cat/y-pipe/s-pipe are all one piece.

so youre saying that to do headers, you have to get a new cat, s pipe and y pipe?
I thought that the y pipe usually came with the headers, and that could go into your exhaust

Re: Headers Information

No, headers include the y-pipe. So if you want to keep the rest of the exhaust you'll need to do some cutting.

Anyone feel free to chime in and correct me if I am wrong.

Re: Headers Information

oh i gotcha. i knew you had to do some cutting and welding. i thought you meant that for some reason, the headers wont fit with the stock exhaust

Different pipe diameters on the OP's car

so youre saying that to do headers, you have to get a new cat, s pipe and y pipe?

no

yes, so long as the piping diameter matches up

i thought you meant that for some reason, the headers wont fit with the stock exhaust

it won't. On the OP's car, the y-pipe will be bigger than the front of the cat

Re: Headers Information

ok.

so smokepanther

i will need

1. Headers
2. Y pipe included with above
3. S pipe
4. New cat.

and have to take it to someone to weld it.
right?

Not if all you want to do is headers. If all you want to do is headers, what you would need is just the headers/y-pipe, and a reducer to match the front of the cat.
