Default Header to go with?

How much more power will i make doing H/C buying the Kooks 1 7/8 stepped to 2in w 3.5in collector and 3.5in ORY over using pacesetters?

Do i buy the pacesetters and just save the money?

I really wanna know what the HP diff will be with a dyno tune in the end...?

with just h/c you might pick up a lil more all over the curve with the kooks vs the pacesetters but those headers would really shine if you threw some spray on that motor

i think you should go with the stepped header and TDs if your goin for a max effort build...but make sure the TDs are mandrel bent! i would check with a few of the sponsors for the big hp kits.

haha that has been and will continue to be debated until the end of time! im not gonna start a war or anything like that, but all the results ive seen pretty much say 9x outta 10 TDs outflow the average Y pipe! but there are Y pipes that outflow some TD setups, ie: the flowmaster merge, but that still only still flows about the same as a TD setup. plus TDs sound 1,000,000,000x better than Y pipes.

Got ya i think its all in the merge colletor of a good ORY pipe ive seen some horrible merges there and i could def see how TDs would be better


TDs on a camero i could see doing cause there are no cut outs ing the rear bumper but on a TA or Fh like mine it would bother me not haven any tips......and getting TDs ran over the axle.....lots of money and PIA
