Hey Mike, what type of gain would I get in my firehawk? I have dual-dual exhaust so I'm thinking these aren't the ones for me. Headers are on my list though. I like SLP long-tube headers but I've heard of clearance issues.
What headers would you recommend? No head or cam work in this new baby for a couple of years, if ever. But I love superchargers and turbos.

What are you going to shoot for power wise are you going to use nitrous?
From talking to Dyna tech when I was dealing with them they said that the 1 7/8 headers are good for when you are getting into serious hp (not to be rude) but you have not hit it yet. Now if you have a 436 ci bored stroker planned I would change my note. I would keep the flp's and just fabricate a new Y pipe. Use something like 3" as the flp y pipe is one of the downsides of the system and chokes it all down.
Now for the merge collector thing. They are good for a lil bit of hp IF you have maxxed out the induction and everything is perfect gains were told to me to be in the 7-8 hp range this is for Circle track racers who are trying to get every last ounce of hp out. Now you will be crapping out the gains of the merge collectors and waisting money if you are going to put on a y pipe and catback setup.
Will you gain hp from using stainless doubtful imo.
If you want bigger headers you might look at a stepped setup (1.75-1.875) Bottom line Is Me personally i feel you will be waisting money where as you can make a y pipe fairly cheap and get great gains from that. Or just drop off the y pipe all together loose the weight of the cat back and run open headers

Good point on the y-pipe....I just think those QTP's are just plain sexy...I don't expect to get any gains...just looks. The underside of my car is perfect...except for the funny looking drivers side header....but really anyone interested in my headers?

I beleive kooks are stainless also Mike
kooks
and they make a " stepped " full length stainless ls1 headder .
Drumbhawk , go with a set of flp's or jet hot's , nice fit and finish and they tuck up good . If you have the $$ to spend get the kooks or qtp's , there the best I staired at the qtp site for many hours trying to convince myself I could afford them . . . . I think im going to start selling drugs like the rest of you wangers

Mike, you know I've always said I'd take your FLPs if you ever wanted to get rid of them. Instantly. You just had to give me the word. I'll be personally offended if they go elsewhere... lol!
lol!
