It will fit the single cat catback system, but it comes with it's own Y pipe I believe...
Maybe someone else can verify this..
I don't think any single cat shorty's fit the stock Y pipe?

From what I was looking at it doesn't seem like they come with the y-pipe because nothing is ever mentioned about a y-pipe and the picture does not show one. I would call their customer support and talk with one of their representatives.

Everytime I have seen them or someone has bought them the Y-pipe was included. And as far as I could tell, the Y-pipe is different then the stock one I took off.

Those are the exact same headers that I have on my car.

Yes, the Y-pipe is included with them. The are considered Edelbrock's TES (Tubular Exhaust System) headers. They are basic shorty headers with 1 5/8th primaries. I think u will be quiet happy with the sound and performance.

HOWEVER, i STRONGLY recommend that u get them coated, eaither Jet Hot or Ceramic. Mine have only been on a few months and they already look nasty because i didnt get them coated. Coating helps with heat also.

#6602 is for 95-97. $489 for friggen headers?!?! Why the hell are LT1 headers so expensive?!?

Anyways, here they are:


It notes that "The paint used on these headers is for rust prevention during shipping only--it will burn off the header shortly after installation."

Also, "This system requires cutting and welding for installation."

What needs to be cut and welded?

It's only the 2 headers right? Doesn't include that cat piece that goes to the Y? Thta's what I'm confused about I guess, what pieces are called what. You have the Headers, the Cross piece with the big round cat, and the Y-Pipe.

All of that is included?!?!

You have to cut the cat off of the stock y-pipe and weld it on the new y-pipe. That's the cutting and welding they are refering to. The rear bracket on the cat remains unchanged.

Of course, you can always buy a new highflow cat or an offroad pipe, and weld either onto the new y-pipe, instead of using the old stock cat..

I paid close to that for my Edelbrocks from summitt. They do include the y pipe. I already had my cat removed so mine had to be welded....but I think it still has to be welded to the cat.

I would definately recommend getting them coated. I regret not having mine coated. It feels like i'm running the heater year round...plus less chance of rusting too. My headers are rusted to hell.
