Re: headers

do you have to pass visual inspection or just sniff test?

long tubes with high flow cats is the way to go if its only sniff test.

stuck with shoties if not

Re: headers

WARNING!

Loudmouth + LT headers = loud, raspy and extra drone. Some like it but most do not. You'll also likely attract the attention of every cop in a 5 mile radius when you get on it. If you want to keep the loudmouth then I highly recommend you get HF cats to help quiet the setup down a bit and eat up some of the rasp. You may even want to consider swapping the resinator for a 18" bullet muffler.

As for brands I agree with QTP. Kooks are also top of the line. As for bang for the buck budget headers then the newer pacesetters are a good value.

Good luck

Re: headers

Pacesetter or Flowtech makes good long tubes for the price. The Pacesetter Y pipe is a POS though from what many have said. You ought to get Texas Speed's catted Y pipe. Plus they're the cheapest right now for Pacesetter LT's.

Re: headers

QTP, Kooks & TPIS.

I'd recommend any of those. Only one's I've seen first hand though. Ground clearance is good as is build quality.

Re: headers

I have Dynatechs Long tubes on the 'bird. Great fit and good clearance. But they come real close to the oil plug on the pan. So close that I had to remove the magnet to shorten the plug to get it in and out.

He's got an M6 car. We have a slight advantage over the auto guys, we can decide how loud we want our car to be while we're driving.

Re: headers

Depending on your budget, I would recommend the FLP (Finish Line Performance) setup. You have the option of catalytic or offroad, everything is coated, easier install than most, and it's just a great system. I've helped many people install these, and everyone has been extremely pleased with them.

That will be of little consolation while the officer is writing him a ticket. Because if he never plans to get on his car and raise the rpm's then why bother modding in the first place?

He should still consider using HF cats and maybe even switching his catback to a magnaflow or hooker or something along those lines.
