I am curious into which Longtube Headers Everyone prefers. Who makes the best all around headers? Which have the best ground clearance, Most HP gain, Easiest to Install, best ceramic coating, Best Sound, and best all around Value? I live in California, So I need to try and pass state Emissions. I will soon have my engine 383 Stroked all Forged with the LE1 or LE2 setup. So I want to know which Header, Y-Pipe, and CatBack will go good with each other.

 

before we all tell you, ANY LONG TUBE HEADER IS ILLEGAL IN CALIFORNIA, and WONT pass smog. As for the best header, in my opinion its the stainless kook long tubes. They have great plug access, great ground clearance, STAINLESS, there stepped, no problems....

 

All headers are illegal? I would think they could pass with cats and a tune.

 

its not that they wont pass the emissions test, they wont pass the visual, because you are moving/altering the location of the original cat.

 

Shorties are the way to go in Cali unless you know of somebody that will pass you with out an inspection. Long tubes will pass the sniffer/roller, just not the inspection.

 

Assuming you can get passed the visual inspection I love the look of the Pacesetter Long Tubes. They are at a great price, usually 400$ with ceramic coating. They have excellent ground clearance frm the pictures I have seen. Great headers.

buy some ceramic coated pacesetter longtubes with y pipe for $440 right now if you order, instead of about $520-540 normally for the 2, they have one of the easiest spark plug access, and best bang for the buck.
