IMO, i like the way the 93-95 style looks better. Let us know how you like them perf. wise after you install them. I love the looks of the coating though.

I think they look great! Let us know how the install goes.

You will definately see them better than the '94-'95 headers that tuck more along the block and down.

These headers worked really well with a random dual cat ypipe.
Had mine for 3 years and just switched to TPiS longtubes.
You're going to have a PITA time getting to the passenger side bolts especially the last one at the back.
My mechanic used spray glue to hold the gaskets on and it took him about 6 hrs to remove the manifolds and instal the SLP shorties.
Spark plug access isn't great either.

When I had mine I loved them. With the y-pipe off, I could change all 8 plugs in about 30 minutes from the bottem. You can get to the back passenger side bolt from the bottom pretty easily. Good luck with the install.

Yes it comes with the high flow converters.
It bolts right in with no trouble.
Works real good with the shorties.
It is 500-550.00 though.

I ran them on my car with the random pipe and they worked pretty good together. I'd say 15 to 20 hp.
Not as much bottom end torque as my new TPiS longtubes but not far behind.

wow 555 is kinda tight for me right now....
how restrictive is the stock cats than the highflow.....i already have an SLP stock y-pipe so the y-pipe is not a concern to me it is the cats that are

btu anybody know anyhting about new York State inspections.....from the pic of the y-pipe on thunderracing it seems as the cats are moved further away from the engine

i hear that moving the cats is illegal causing a failure in inspection....anybidy have any info on this??

I'm not sure about the testing stations in NY, but the one I go to doesnt even have a lift so they wouldnt be able to check either way.
