Well some people don't have $300-800 to pull out of their pocket for headers.

As for me I will be doing the same, at least they are better then stock, if not some aftermarket ones.

Looking good, man!

I can't wait to see how well the LSx Performance Y-pipe fits.

I've seen one of these on another site and have kinda wondered how the well the merge on it tucks up to the underbody of the car.

sorry guys been real busy havent got a chance to upload pics yet. Drove the car for the first time last night and it has a SOTP difference if you ask me. And it sounds wayyy meaner. Magnaflow is still pretty damn quiet with the cutout closed even with LT's and no cats. Cutout open is real loud but somewhat raspy. Still sounds good though. Pictures coming tonight

Hey, might be a stupid question, but what site did you get them off of and is there any info you could give on them. I know you mentioned the performance seemed better and the tone was amazing but any chance we could see some dyno numbers? what was the price for the race headers and y? also was there any clearance issues. thanks for any info man.

Thought it was roughly around $200 for the headers?

Nope. They were but to many people making a big deal out of these. I think they are the same headers as the cheapo $170-210 except he cuts the egr pipe and sells them as race only. Not sure what the deal is on the y pipe being so expensive tho as you can get others for 130. I honestly was thinking about getting these but the customer service dosn't seem good at all. To many people waiting for weeks at a time, No reply on emails, No official website to buy from, yup I think I'm passing these up for some others. I'm sure its all prity much the same o same o.
