I want to put headers on my car and I am going to be supercharging it what is the best bang for the buck?

Brand?

Long or Short?

What kind of coat ceramic, chorme, etc...?

Thanks Guyz

 

most people say pacesetters are the best bang for the buck. Kooks are the best quality for the money. Long tube is what your going to need if your going to S/C your car. And either jet hot coated or cermaic coated to keep engine temps down. hope this helps...

Ok long ceremic pacesetter it is. Just one more question they will bolt up to the stock y-pipe and cat right?

Thanks again
Brian

 

No you will need to buy the y-pipe that works for long tube headers. Pacesetter sells one.

 

thanks,
where do the dual cats fit in to all of this?

 

They dont, not with relative ease at least.

 

The Pacesetter's work with an offroad Pacesetter y-pipe which can easily have the codes deleted by your tuner if you are obd2 (and will give you a bit more power because of not having cats on a boosted car) . We carry the ceramic coated headers for $399 and the y-pipe for $129 . You can order them online at www.neweraperformanceparts.com or call during business hours at 585-865-1832 . Long tube headers will definitley be more efficient on a supercharged car , and 9 times out of 10 on a naturally aspirated car as well .

then i guess if i go that route i can forget about passing emissions then hey
why wont the shortiees work that way i can pass emissions or am i wrong?

thanks for the input
Brian

 

you will still pass emmissions if you have the tuner say your pcm has cats so when the emmsion people go to read what your computer is telling them it just says "has cats" and your good to go. There is no tail pipe emmisions if your car is 95+. Shorties will work but for a boosted car you will loose a lot of HP.

 

I just want thank you for the inputs, ok this is what i gather long-tube pacesetter ceremic coated and off road y-pipe bypass the cats all together one said i would still pass emissions i am not to sure on that, however i could also bypass the cats with an o2 simulater right?

Thanks agian
Brian

 

Yes you can bypass the cats with 02 sims.

About the passing emissions part. You won't pass a visual inspection with lts and o/r y-pipe, and passing a sniff test is also a long shot. It really all depends on what kind of testing they do in your area.

 

is their any particular o2 sensors you would suggest i have seen from summit for $88 and some a lot cheaper what should i look for?

Thanks
Brian

 

If you have emissions you might want to look into RK Sport Mids for $450.

I love longtubes, but passing emissions with them wont be a sinch.

I see mikes 97 SS if you search for gmmg exhaust you will see his posts come up and I noticed that he had the gmmg exhaust with y-pipe and long tubes and welded two cats to the y-pipe. I am assuming that this is because he is in California would this have a lot of rescriction?

 

Catalytic converters out there today aren't nearly as restrictive as they used to be when they were first introduced. A good set of high flow cats won't rob you of much horsepower on a somewhat stock style engine configuration.

What type of emissions testing do you have where you live? That will determine what header/y-pipe combo will be best for you.
