help!!!????......... I want to keep my edlbrk shorties.lose my cats and go duels or Y pipe to cut out and catback..does any one have pictures or info.. is this even worth the work??? i realy like my headers! good qlty. fit and coating. p.s. THIS is the BEST SITE ever.

 

anyone?........Bueller?...Bueller?..Ferris Bueller? ...no?

 

you can probably find a cat-less y-pipe, im not sure how hard duals would be on shorties, IMO, it wouldnt be worth it, i would just get the y-pipe and a good catback such as hooker or magnaflow

 

shorties and true duAls (if you're not fighting someone it's duAls, sorry, just a pet peave of mine) is possible, but you won't get the gain you would if you had a longtube header. and running such a free flowing exhaust would be a waste with the edelbrock headers, as they only have 1-5/8" primaries and can't maximize the use of the better exhaust anyways.

i think the edelbrock shorties, unless you got the TES headers, bolt on to the stock Y pipe.

if you're still using the stock y pipe with cat, i would suggest getting the jegs off road y pipe for our cars, its not terribly expensive, and you can put a cutout in the straight section of the y pipe where it would meet to the catback.

hooker and magnaflow seem to be the budget catbck of choice for people with headers.


i have pacesetters and true duals with an H pipe, dual high flow cats, and moroso spiral flows dumped at the axle and i love the sound. so if you're going to be pursuing this from a sound standpoint, i would def. suggest duals, but it's going to cost a lot more and sacrifice ground clearance


hope this helps man, good luck with it

 

to do all that work and use shorties would be a waste IMO

get yourself some long tubes and go from there

 

THANKS EVERYONE!!!! going w\ pacesetter LTs

 

FWIW I gained 8-12 rwhp/rwtq by switching from a 3" cat back system
to a 2.5" true dual system. This is the factory dual cats with the 3"
cat back vs. dual magnaflow OBDII cats with the 2.5" true dual system.

It's expensive hp/tq, but the true dual system is better, not to mention
how much better it sounds.

This is with stock exhaust manifolds for both runs so it's a true comparison
with the only change being the exhaust system.

 

great info......the rest of the site was put together well too! thanks. Im also hearing not so good things about pacesetter LTs for LT1s (bad fit at the motor mnts.) any info out there?
