I just finished my car last night at about 3am. I did 1 3/4" AR LT's and prothane motor mounts. I have to give a big thumbs up to American Racing Headers for a simply amazing product. They literally slid right in!! I was amazed. No removal of anything except the heat shields, but I did that so I wouldn't scratch the headers. No grinding anything, no removing the oil filter and they aren't anywhere near a plug wire. It was soooo damn easy. I recommend these headers to everyone A+!!! They are definately worth the price!! Now I gotta get my duals made up!!

A side note: My whole neighborhood was woke up at 7am today when I went romping around open headers!! Every kid walking to school was staring like WTF?? hahaha

How much were they with the Y pipe?

I only got the headers. I got them for $805 w/ free shipping from MPH motorsports (sponsor) ----------------------------------------->>>>>

Send them a PM and they can get you a price with a Y pipe.

Thanks bluez but that's not even close to what i want to spend on headers. I'm seriously considering the 190 dollar stainless LT's from ebay. Glad you like them tho

What do you mean open headers?

'99bluez

iTrader: (6)

It meants your car has just the headers on it and no exhaust after it. No cats, no mufflers, no X or H, no y pipe, no catback, etc. Its a bit loud.

If you have done LT's yet, it's best to save until you can get the ARH's. I went from well-ported MAC mid's with ORY to ARH (1 7/8" primaries) LT's and picked up 25/17. Baseline run on dyno the morning the MAC's were uninstalled was done. The next day nearly identical time and weather, I saw that much of a gain. Waiting would be well worth the time and trouble. They're product to own.

'99blueZ > congrat's on the step up ... ARH LT's are about as good as it gets. Below is frothe shop owner who did my install and dyno'd the car:

'Hey All,

I was very surprised at the gains from the change of the Mac's w/ OR to the ARH 1 7/8" w/ Cats with no tuning changes. I did a locked baseline run Sunday after Jack dropped off the car to have a fair comparison instead of going back to the old runs. My base runs were close to Jack's last dyno numbers.

I will let Jack post up the numbers if he wishes. I can tell you the gains were more then what was predicted here by Disturbed Bird before the tune. I can get more specific once Jack posts.

Have a good one all.

I guess that illegal? Do you have a video? If its louder than my cutout I want to do it.

'99bluez

iTrader: (6)

yes its illegal, but so is just simply moving the cats from their factory location. I don't have a video- try searching on youtube.

I'm sure that it is louder than your cutout, unless you cutout is right after your collector. Its fun for a few days but you would have to be insane to keep a street driven car like that for a long period of time.

And keep a set of plugs in your car b/c you'll be fouling them like crazy. Running open headers when you aren't absolutely forced to is dumb.

Haha, yeah....open headers is pretty much the loudest setup you can get Unless you are really awesome and run open head.......

What you want to spend is up to you, but from experience I recommend to never go cheap when building a car. Whether it being a 9 second track car or a bolt on daily. I've heard and seen great things with these American Racing Headers. Definately worth the price. Hoping they can fab up some LT1 headers. I'd be first in line

Congrats leaning towards the ARH 1 7/8 w/ORY when I swap the macs on my Blk one.I think its worth the $$ IMO.

iTrader: (1)

atleast get pacesetters, theyre reputable, good gains, low issues, easy install. y trust ebay, 400 bucks get u ceramic coated headers.

but definatly nice to hear about A.R. Fitment. i'm leaning towards these more and more.

Or wait for me to install my ARH's (just ordered today) and buy my Hookers. They may be used, but I bet they beat the $190 ebays...
