Whats the best bang for the buck in headers? This would be for a 1995 z-28 with 1 convertor and a y pipe, are the MAC the best deal going?

If you can stand to save up for a little and get Hookers!!! you wont be sorry. On the other hand... Mac's are the very best bang for the buck!

Get a set of used SLP stainless midlengths. I got some on this board for $335. Those headers and Y-pipe + a straight pipe in place of the cat = ownage.

I guess you could get long tubes, but these SLPs will give you almost as much power for less money and trouble.

Do you have a pic? Why are you selling, what are you getting?

 

Oops that came out wrong, I don't have a set for sale, I bought mine used off of this boards for sale section. Sorry for the confusion

 

Make sure you get the headers coated, or you'll be sorry. I have TPIS headers, and they work great. I've never had a leak, and I got a good increase for shorties. I got them for $275 and they were only used for 2500 miles or so.

 

Why does everyone have some warning about getting their headers coated? I understand it keeps the bay temp down, but how much hotter can it be than the stock headers??? I've actually heard a lot of people complain about the coating coming off, and that it was pretty much a waste of $$$, just curious before i buy my headers

 

I hear alot of good things about AS&M mid lenght headers...

 

AS&M

 

What do they go for new? Used on here?

Eric

 

as&m's are about $700 or so. I've never seen anyone sell them used, there too goo to sell!!!

 

If you're in the market for coated headers, you may want to consider Jet-Hot coated MAC headers. They are mid-lengths and seem to make good power. Jet-Hot is selling them in the GP section. The coated headers, y-pipe, and off-road pipe shipped are going to be close to $70 cheaper than AS&M headers(not including shipping).
Hope this helps

 

so go with a set of MAC"s used then? I want to go used because of price.
