headers, y pipe, cats
 

ok guys,
here's the deal. i want to put headers (preferrably mid length), high flowing cats and a new y pipe on my car. what's the BEST? money is not an option. i want the best for my car. all thoughts, opinions, suggestions welcome!! thanks :)

Re: headers, y pipe, cats
 

I hope money is an option, because it's going to cost you. If you really want the best, I'd recommend going stainless, so that points you toward Kooks or QTP's. Also, best and mid-length are mutually exclusive. Somebody else may chime in, but I believe Mac is the only maker of mid-lengths for our cars.

bassani and mac are the only mids that i am aware of. i would say that bassani makes better products, they are WELL known and used iin the mustang circle

Why don't you get LT headers. The LT flow better. See the pics of my SS in my sig. Why haven't you been to the f-body meeting at Valley Forge Park?

i'm sorry. i didn't even know there was one!! keep me updated on when they are and i'll go :)

I just saw all ur F-Bod pics...
 

Im jelous, u got to see a ZL1 and i havent, and youve owned so many fbodys, ur like my hero :bow: ....Im from NY and we dont have any F-Body meetings up here, tell me when there is one in PA, ill have to curise on down and meet all you guys....

StainlessWorks 304SS LT Headers + Catted Y-pipe. They use dual RT cats. Superb quality - as good as QTP's, and LESS EXPENSIVE!

just got through dynoing the Bassani headers and y-pipe with cats for www.vincihighperformance.com a gain of 10hp. the only other aftermarket part was the borla catback (dyno #5 hood up). install pics here: http://www.stealthram.com/bassaniheadersinstall.html


the stock manifolds are pretty good. but they did notice about 5" of vacuum on the TECH II scanner. so they added the air lid and polyfoam filter. then the MAF housing ends.
