Okay, should i get MAC mid lengths, Pacesetter, Flotechs, Hooker. I want a set of headers that are the easiest to install, great seal, and performance gains. I know where I can get pacesetter uncoated for $245, but i think I read they only give 8-12 rwhp.........waht happened to a solid 40 horses to the rear with headers????

 

"waht happened to a solid 40 horses to the rear with headers????"

somebody was smoking crack...no header will give that...well maybe longtubes replacing stock manifolds on a 1000hp engine

flowtech longtubes are great and last i checked were around $400

you don't need to worry about emissions do you?

No, I'm outside the city, so no emissions check. I think I can get a MAC setup with the y w/out cats for $470. Is that a descent set up?

 

Another vote for long tubes!!!!

 

i bought my flowtech longtubes with ceramic coating, offroad ypipe, o2 extensions, metal gaskets (reccommended), egr and air blockoff plates and gaskets (just in case one broke) for about $600

install was a snap...check out my detailed write up on page 11 of my webpage in the sig

 

Wish we had the option to run Longtubes (or even mid lenghts at that) legally, go LTs all the way...

 

QTP Long Tubers!!!!!!!! Gonna cost you about $800 but you can get the most gain out of them especially with the high volocity collector at the end of em.

P.S. A SLP Loudmouth will compliment it well

 

Ok I do think headers can net you 50RWHP but are they rating them at the motor or rearend? With my SLP LT I picked up around 33RWHP and 40RWTQ! Not bad! But the more you do the more it will help those ####.

 

Long tubes are long tubes. The difference in prices reflects the materials used not performance benefits.
The Macs can perform right up there with LTs. When I was shopping I found that Flowtech and Pacesetter LTs and ORYs were cheaper than Mac's set up, but then I found a good deal on a used catted set up so I went that route.

Go which ever way you want. LT or mid. You can't really go wrong.

QTP High Velocity Merge Collector Headers wil the most gains amoung the F Body headers. SOme have seen 40hp.

 

Well that all depends. The main reason I said QTP is because I heard they had the most gain and absolutley NO clearance issues at all. Which will come in handy going over them speed bumps.

 

See my link and scroll down to headers.
