Hey guys just recieved some shorty headers i purchased from the classified section, I think they are dynomax shortys, anyway ive never done headers on a car so im wondering do i need to buy anything else or can i just install them on the car and still use my existing pipes. The car only has a borla cat back on it right now.............thanks guys

did u not search and read up first?
Shorties , longtubes , search button ...priceless
almost 800 posts and never read this over and over and over and over and over and..........

no way to tell if they will bolt up to your y-pipe with out specific information from you about the the headers and how they look at the collector ,most people agree to do motor mounts while in there...my advice would be either sell them and get ebay longtubes , or bolt em up and go to an exhaust shop to rig them up

reason for the shortys is here in az i have to pass emissions and i cant get by with longtubes and moving the cats. Ive had friends that didnt pass because of it. So just to be safe i just got the shortys. Guy sold them to me for 60 bucks.

anyway is it just easier to go to an exhaust shop and talk to them about it.

I can recommend an exhaust shop/general shop for ya that isnt to far from where you live, If i were in town i would help ya install them but i am in cali. If i were you i would bolt em all up and see if it fits before running to the exhaust shop.

pm me if you want my phone number and I will call ya and give you directions to the shop

i dont know the first thing about installing these, ive read they suck *** to install even for guys that do it all the time. I think i still have your number, ill hit you up when i decide what im gonna do. Any idea on what kinda price i might be looking at to have this done?

also you are gonna want to go with new exhaust manifold gaskets

Agreed that emmisions compliance is the only justified reason for running shorty headers.

You will need a set of manifold gaskets and also alot of patience lol. If u didn't get a y pipe you will have to get one fabbed for you at an exhaust shop.

what type of header bolts are recommended? I dont want to be going in every week trying to get them tightened up all the time

I'd prefer longtubes over shorties anyday, the swap to stock manifolds for smog is worth it...you just can't get enough of the sound of longtubes

goodluck with the install, i can't imagine it being any harder than longtubes lol

plugs and wires while your in there is a must. Theres some company in Oregon that ships otvc wires and plugs and they are legit. your stockers will not last from the added heat of the headers.
