Default what LT headers?

What brand headers should I get?? LT's right? My friend with a 04 cobra talks a lot of **** and is very very cocky. Last time we raced with my mods now we were dead even twice. Should I get headers before the LS6 manifold? He thinks his cobra is the **** in the Bay so I'm really determined to smoke him

on a budget: get some pacesetter LT's and a catted y-pipe. i would say get an ORY but i think the GMMG will be too loud with no cats, but then again u might like it that way.

Not on a budget: get some QTP LT's and pick your y-pipe again.

are you in san fran. bay area?

its getting harder and harder to do that now. If you go with LT's and a catted y you would have to find a smog shop that would over look the visual part of the test. With a tune you can get by the sniffer but fail the visual part due to the relocation of the cats.

yeah we went to this dyno day on Saturday and we saw this black procharged trans am with the WS6 hood with 531RWHP and he thinks he can take that. He's actually starting to get annoying and I really wanna just ****** smoke him. I would say his is not all that fast cuz when we raced on Friday we were dead even twice.

FWIW, last Saturday was the first time I've heard a GMMG. It was on a car with LT's, ORY and H/C, and I thought it sounded sweet.

save the intake manifold for later. the main chokepoint of the engine is the headers, so grab some LT's and you will be able to take him by 2-3 cars.

If you want to run with the big dogs you'll need more than headers.
Think BIG cam and headers,gears and the other **** in my sig. You will need more than exhaust work to beat a modded supercharged Cobra.

If you have the $$ definitely go with a set of Kooks. I just put mine on a week ago and the quality of the headers, and the fitment of them is unbelievable, they slid right in!! Not to mention the gains you will see will be much more than any other gains you will see from other brands such as Pacesetters with the exception of QTP's which are also excellent headers. But dont forget about Nitrous. Good luck with everything.
