Question Best place to buy New wires for my headers and the S-Pipe

If people know of Canadian spots that would be great, but either way the exchange rate now is awesome

I think thunderracing is the spot for the s-pipe, but I can't find the archived post I read before. Its the pipe to connect single cat headers to a dual cat car.

Plus I need wires, I'm cleaning out the gf's garage this weekend to hopefully get started on this project before I go on vacation (not taking the f-bod)

I asked before if anyone made wires with the opti end complete and I never got an answer. I know to go with 8mm if I wanna route in there stock locations.

thanks!

I'll go with oem plugs, but thanks for letting me know about those wires

I'm assuming the access would be no different than the stockers there now. I'm thinking I should get some haet wrap/shields for them too....

I can not find this S-Pipe on thunderracing's webpage, nor can I see it on Tbyrne's. Does anyone know for sure I can get it there?

Thunder racing does have it. The part # is 99-s and it lists for $65. It's under the exhaust section and is the second item from the bottom of the page.
I couldn't find one at Tbyrne but send them an e-mail and see if they still sell them. You could also get a local exhaust shop to fab one up for you and you'd probably save some money.

Hope this helps and good luck,
Tyler

EDIT!! I just noticed theres 2 different part numbers for 93-95 LT1 spiro wires and 96-97. Do I get the 93-95 ones since i ahve the single cat headers? or does this relate to the OptiSpark?

I ordered from thunder racing - the s-pipe and Taylor over the valve cover plug wire kit. Excellent customer service and fast shipping, well to south carolina anyway, not sure about canada.

Thats correct. I went with a single cat header/y-pipe setup and the s-pipe connects to the intermediate pipe from the cat.
