No Y = Car Fire
This is a post on ebay. Seller of the headers claims that the owner ran the car without the Y pipe and set it on fire.

Just thought you'd be intrested.

FLP, does that mean Flaming LS1 Pipes?
I just posted this as a caution for anybody thinking about doing that.

Re: No Y = Car Fire
Yea and they said it happened at Moroso. After thinking about I believe that there is no harm in running open headers. They either had fluid on them or something flamable on the floor underneath the car or a fuel leak. Whatever it is the headers do look intact.

Re: No Y = Car Fire
If they are the most knowledgeable then why in the hell don't they know what kind of headers they are? I understand that there are a now many different brands of headers for the LS1 F-Body but there are only a few styles so they should be able to identify the style at least.
PS
I have not seen is the Stainless Works headers so if someone has a pic I would love to see it.

FYI, all you transamcreations bashers, have you ever worked with them? http://www.tacreationsusa.com is BY FAR the BEST F-Body salvage yard you will find! Not only is their staff polite and patient, their customer service is top notch.
I know of VERY few people who can say the same a bout speedautomotive and those that do won't for long if they continue to deal with speed auto, trust me on that.

Re: No Y = Car Fire
Heh. Speed automotive. Worst customer service experience I have had in my entire life. I got so frustrated with dealing with them that I actually let it go (70$ mirror that I never got). I chalked the money up to a learning experience. NEVER BUY FROM SPEED AUTOMOTIVE EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER.
