alright which ones are the best?? should i get short headers or long headers? I already know coated is the best so i will save up for those. Also i have stock exhaust so if im correct all i need is a y-pipe to hook up to the stock catback right??? If you have any advice on this subject please feel free to tell me

 

Long tube headers are the most desirable, best power gain.

Depends on where you are though, and if smog is an issue. For instance, here in California they are not CARB certified, and are illegal for street use. Here you will fail the visual inspection, unless you've found someone to sneak you through.

Here we have to use shorties. Where are you at?

 

MAC Shorties give you a dyno gain of about 28rwhp...

 

Im in Illinois

 

where in IL? some places here have emmissions, some dont.
If emmissions, then shorties i.e Mac etc
If not emmissions, then LT'S!!

 

>who makes good long tubes headers that are bigger (1 3/4") for the LT1 ?

 

I've never seen above 1 3/4 " headers, they will probably have to be custom for 2"+.

 

i just got done installing my headers and i love them. the sound great and i felt a big power difference

 

>I know someone (I think Dynatech) made a stepped 1 3/4" - 1 7/8" header .But I think your right about the 2" header .
