I didn't want to hyjack another thread so I'll start a new one. I have searched.....

I'm soon gonna be on the market for headers and catted Y-Pipe. My requirements are:

Headers:

-Stainless steel;
-No EGR or A.I.R fittings;
-1-7/8 inch OR 1-3/4 to 1-7/8 primaries.

Y-Pipe:

-Stainless steel;
-High flow cats;
-Flowmaster style merge;
-3 inch outlet;
-Good ground clearance.

Most header companies do not have more than 1-3/4 inch primaries. The only company I found with the Flowmaster Y-Pipe merge is QTP. They don't have larger headers, don't have any headers available until September and a search results in reports of poor ground clearance.

Of course, Kooks and American Racing Headers have the headers but lousy Y-Pipe merges.

Any ideas?

Kooks or ARH headers then a custom ypipe will probably be your best bet.

Check out Texas Speed's 1 7/8 headers and catted y pipe

Thanks HVYMTL but the only TSP exhaust stuff they have is two Y-Pipes, neither is stainless.

I'm thinking I'm gonna end up with American Racing Headers & Y-Pipe. I'll go and visit them, they're not too too far from me.

Note to self: DON'T wear the Kooks shirt when visiting ARH.

Our new 1 7/8" headers and 3" off-road y-pipes will both be in stainless on our next run. Should be here in hopefully late this month!

I wish i would have known stainless ORY was coming out. I would have waited. Still haven't used my ORY yet either.

Hey Jon hows pricing gonna be compared to the other Stainless options, it would be nice to see a reputable shop knee cap Kooks & QTP cause there is no reason for a set of LT's to cost $1k+

My Pacesetters are lookin sad so I was thinking about goin with the Chrome BBK's for the price & included y-pipe. Hopefully the chrome will last longer than the coating on the Pacesetters.

The 1 7/8s stainless are going to be priced right around $499!

I'm jumping on that when it happens.

If thats true I'll hold out for a set of those & skip the BBK's. Only reason I havent bought stainless LT's as of yet is price, I"m not gonna spend what Kooks & QTP want for a set. I work in fabrication & they dont have much in materials or welding time on those. Pricing them around $500 with get a ton of sales & cover the fab costs easily.

Yeah we are hoping the header and y-pipe pricing will not change. I won't know for sure until they get here but that's the plan!

I love the tsp 1 7/8 headers. I have them on my car and the install was simple and for the price you cant beat it for a 1 7/8 header. The y pipe was a real pita though
