hey guys I'm looking at headers as my next mod. Any suggestions on what to buy. What is the best deal for headers? I saw a pair of shorty headers by hooker on tbyrne for $269.99 is there anything beating that? Last on tbyrne it says slp longtubes can give u up 2 a 41 hp gain is this true?

stay away from shorties unless you're not going to do the whole exhaust.... shorties suck ****. go w/ LT headers, i like QTP, but if you're trying to keep the costs low, go w/ jet-hot or hooker LT's, a good Y pipe and whatever exhaust you want to get. dynomax, borla, corsa, loudmouth, magnaflow... w/e. have fun

 

most guys pick up 18-26 hp at the tire with long tubes.

Shorties will pick you up 4-8 depending on year and what engine mods are done..

 

I'm lookin at the Thunder Racing\QTP\Grot's myself for between 700-800 online ... probably will purchase them this summer. FLP's package also seems like a good deal, but I'm only look for LT's since I plan to go true dual sometime down the line (why pay for a y-pipe I won't use?) You guys know the typical amount of time it takes a shop to install them?

 

..you can get the FLP's longtube's...just the headers only for 799.00




...I love my FLP's, they are well worth the money

 

The QTP/Thunder style are probably the best, but if you're looking for a killer deal.... http://www.ls1tech.com/ubb/ultimateb...;f=10;t=001630 You're not going to lose much performance by saving big money on these. Great deal, especially considering that is a shipped price.

 

this is a bit off subject, but will the MAC's bolt up to my stock cats and what not being that they're midlengths? and are the MAC's better than the QTP/Thunder that Shempy stated earlier????

 

Macs (mid-lengths) will be relatively close to long tube headers on a near stock car. But the more horsepower you add, the more the long tube headers will benefit you.

Your stock cats won't mate up to Macs.

 

IMO, the QTP/Thunder LTs are the best performance header available, and probably the best all-around header, I have yet to hear anything negative about them.

It looks like there will be a GP on them (the QTPs, not Thunder) pretty soon: http://www.ls1tech.com/ubb/ultimateb...;f=10;t=001544

 

where did u get this deal at??????

shorties are a waste of money.

As for which header to choose, I would have to say the QTP headers, they seem to be best out there, I haven't heard a complaint about them yet. Every other header out there seems to have some kind of problem.

I am going with these headers over the summer, you can get them here www.quicktimeperformance.com

 

I heard long tubes were better but im goin to keep my flowmaster muffler on with headers. If i got long tubes would I have to get a y pipe? I was high on the shorty headers just for the fact that they were 270. I wud b able to purchase them in less than three months for that price but 500 for long tubes wud take a while to save up for

 

Start saving......

With any LT or Mid your going to have to replace the Y pipe. The shorties are really not worth the money, you can get much better power with that $250 on other mods.

LT headers are going to run you $1000-1400 with cats and shipping. You will gain about 20-30 rwhp which is equivelant to 25-35 engine hp, it is definetly worth the extra money.

 

well what other mods could i get with that 250 in mods right now all i have is a lid and im getting a ftra in about two weeks
