Hello all. I am new to the board and this is my first time posting. I have had my 3rd gen (1991) Z28 for a while now and all I have on it is cat-back exhaust with v-force muffler. I am not really all up into the technical aspects of my Z and the exhaust, so I am asking for some help. I have a couple of questions. Here goes. Is it possible to get long tube headers for my 3rd gen, because I can't seem to find them anywhere for 3rd gens? Is it maybe something to do with the ground clearance? I assume I would have to get an off road Y-Pipe, but when I was looking at Jeg's i saw a universal X-Pipe with dual cutouts that caught my eye, and was wondering if this would work if i found some long-tubes for my camaro. I would love to hear from anyone, so any suggestions, help, would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

 

hedman longtubes will fit in your car. i think they are the best fit on a thirdgen.

 

Hooker 2055's are a direct fit, and Mufflex makes an off-road ypipe for them. Hope you don't need emissions thought, or at least have a way around it.

i think im gonna go with the 2055's with the mufflex y-pipe. i'm guessing this is the package, all for $300 http://www.mufflex-performance.com/fbody_8.html (bottom of page)? WOuld I need the 02 bungs? thanks again for the help and maybe "rookie" questions lol.

 

You probably already know this, bust just in case there was any confusion, that is $300 just for the Y pipe. You would still need to purchase the headers seperately. And as far as the 02 bungs go, i would do them if it was me. The 02 sensors help the ecm, and thats always a good thing....at least on a fuel injected motor.

 

Anyone have pictures of the ground clearance of the 2055 w/ mufflex y-pipe setup? Preferably on a car with Eibach Sportlines. Just wondering how bad the clearance would be.

 

2055's are shorty's. I have them on my car.

 

excuse my retarded friend, he means whatever the ****ing code is for the longtube variety

 

I bought the Edelbrock Ti-tech from summitracing.com It includes a Y-pipe

part # is EDL-68753 for 88-92 T.B.I. $399.95
part # is EDL-68763 for 89-92 T.P.I. dual catalyst $409.95

 

Have you thought about going with the dual cat Y pipe stock configuration? You can always put headers to the dual cats.

 

I was noticing the motor in your sig.....how is that working out for you? I am trying to get back into a 92 Z28 and was contemplating going that route for the motor......although I wanna stroke it to a 383 if I do.......

I'm using those longtubes with a custom y-pipe (no cats) and an SLP loudmouth. The only thing that sucks is ground clearance, I can't imagine there being very much back pressure.

 

409$+ for a pair of uncoated long tubes? What are these headers guys thinking with prices like these. Just 2 years ago prices were 100-150$ less. This is getting retarded as far as price. ..Anyway sorry about the rant. I run 1 5/8th heddman shortys and Y... They work fine for me dont know how much hp im losing but i can imagine not much at all. they have great GC and work good.

 

The ti-tech are ceramic coated. They become harder and more abrasion resistant with heat. Heat stable up to 1,600 degrees.

 

Dude.. weren't you banned Aklaim? Well either way it's good to see you posting again!
