Default New exhaust seutp.

Well i couldnt really decide what setup to go with. It was between kooks and qtp. I finally decided to go with qtp, i got a set of headers and there dual cut-out y-pipe. Do you guys think i made a good decision? And can i expect a little bit of a power gain from this setup?

I have an 02 z28 and i believe the headers are:Construction
1 3/4" Polished 304 Stainless Steel Primarys
3/8" Thick Stainless Steel Header Flanges
1 3/4" x 2 1/2" x 3" High Velocity Merge Collectors. Im a noob so i had to write it down like this.

Either company makes great headers, I am not a fan of cut outs before the driver due to the noise, vibrations and all that other stuff, the car should be tuned with that kit on there so the best power can be made given the quick exit of exhaust gases.

In the future, before you go buying parts, come on as search for them, or even post a question. There are plent of guys here who have made mistakes, learn from ours, to avoid yours in the future.

its a custom made y pipe. the only fitment issues i had was the pass side header rubbed the k member and i had to grind it down.
