Default American Racing Headers , Mufflex Catback w/ Magnaflow (Pics)

I'm very impressed with the quality build of the headers, especially the workmanship in the collector (this design should define the word scavange ) Thank you Nick for all your help!

The y pipe looks great as well and the merge is the best I've seen. The exit pipe is 3.5"

The Mufflex piping is 3.5" too and the Magnaflow muffler sure looks pretty. I'm also real impressed with the Mufflex catback...Thank you Denny!

I have more parts coming and will post up some pics of the heads, rockers, cam, etc...

I'll take video of the car once everything is installed and I'll let you guys know what kind of power gains I get... although it may be hard to compare since I'm doing heads/cam/headers all at the same time...

Yep, American Racing built the headers and y pipe...

The catback was ~$550 shipped from Denny at Mufflex...

Here are all the pipe sizes starting with the headers:

1-3/4" primary to a 3" collector, 3" y pipe to a 3-1/2" merge, 3-1/2" catback to bumper

One of them is for the wideband... which ARH is going to relocate to the driver side for me next week...

They are swapping the collector flanges basically...
