OK..i got SLP Loudmouth Cat-backs..i was wandering..how Headers work with this setup...do the back of the headers half to hook up to another pipe or can they be Open>>>or is it illegal>>im really confused on this issue if someone could explain what headers i should go with and what type so they are compatible with my SLP loudmouther Catbacks>>it'd be great..im an amaeteur to this stuff as you can tell

I would go with some LT's. Buy a hooker y pipe and it will hook up to your cat back. Jet hot makes a very nice headder, coated and shipped for just over $500.

so does this get rid of my catalytic converter???

Yeah, Hope you don't have emissions. BTW, headders and getting rid of your cats is going to make your car much louder.

Also whats so much better about ceramic coating??? on headers..i see a price difference what does it do..makes them last longer??

i live in a rural town ...in Kansas i dun think ne ones gonna bitch..especially the police around here there to busy chasing those kids on scooters..its nutz ill be doing 40 in a 20..and they won't stop me but they'll pull over this kid on a scooter that tops out at 25..for riding on the sidewalk its so funny ...

with longtubes and a loudmouth you'll sound like a fleet of dump trucks coming down the road. if you don't want to go deaf i'd look into a way to quiet it down.

Ceramic coating will make them last longer, they won't rust. Even if their painted, they will rust. The biggest reason is to keep engine compartment temps down. Hell, it's worth it in the looks department if you ask me. Why spend all that time installing them if they are going to look like crap in a few months.

hehe..thast what i want to sound like i want them to here me coming ...the only thing that sux is I don't get to really here what my car sounds like..im inside it .....ill get that setup then if i think its gonna be to loud ill quiet it down muffle her alittle

Thanks Guys

temps are important in these engine bays, IMO.

There's also a small performance gain to be had with a good coating. The coating insulates. By "keeping the heat in" exhaust velocity is maintained, which improves scavenging.

Basically they aren't worth buying unless coated. Primarily due to short-evity. 1200' F temps will catalyst rusting like no other.

Performance increase and not burning your plug wires very often are also factors...
