Headers... Shorty, mids and lt's
 
:confused:KIND OF A NOOB BUT DOIN ALOT OF RESEARCH DEBATING ON HEADERS AND NOT SURE...:bang: I WANT THE LT'S BUT IM NOT SURE WHAT LENGTH I NEED TO GET SO THAT IM NOT DISRUPTING THE REST OF THE EXHUAST PIPEING FROM THE Y BACK. SO BASICLY IF I GET THE LT'S AM I GONNA NEED TO DO ANY ADJUSTING ON THE REST OF THE EXHUAST BECAUSE IM NOT SURE HOW LONG LT HEADERS ARE AND HOW THEY ARE GONNA CONNECT TO MY Y PIPE SEENS HOW THE REGULARE MANAFOLDS ARE ALOT SMALLER.... INISTE WOUDL BE GREATLY APPRICIATED

with longtubes or mids you'll need a new Y pipe and it'll all bolt up fine

+1 with what creeper said. I dont think you understood what he said? Here...
if you get shorties (short header) then you dont need a new y pipe.
But if you get either long tubes or mid length then you need a new y pipe.

Alot of people are gonna tell ya do a search. Theres tons of info on headers+setups. Get the headers with a y pipe made for them. If you want a combo for 500 bucks your looking at the same thing I did. Pacsetter long tubes and tsp off road y pipe. Its the cheapest way you can go but pacsetters and tsp ory is great imo.
Thats about all you can get for 500 unless you get a killer deal in the FS section.

Lol ok.........what is tsp and what is ory im assuming ory is the y pipe... But tsp and to confirm the... Ory... And does ws6.com have this tsp ory "y pipe" cuz i found the pacesetters lol thanks for the class lol

BBK ceramic coated LTs and ORY is about $500 too.

senicalj4579 Oct 30, 2010 11:41 AM

ORY is off road y pipe

WS6_NC88 Oct 30, 2010 11:53 AM

Thanks that puts it all into prospective now so for about 17oo bucks i could go header back at what im looking at... Thanks ...

my new setup:

Ebay stainless steel longtubes: $200
TSP catted Y pipe: $350 (or their off road Y is only $130ish)
Magnaflow catback: $400ish

of course I got the catted Y pipe for $40 and magnaflow for $50 used hahah. I had hookers with an off road Y and the magnaflow which was a lot louder, but I got sick of it and now I'm really liking the quiet and smooth tone with cats. plus the hookers rusted very quickly.

WS6_NC88 Oct 30, 2010 02:14 PM

Senicalj4579 thats what sup man im goin with the pace lt's and the tsp ory from tsp and the borla cat back non adj. Got any insight on a decent high flow cat for about 200 lol. I looked at your pics on another thread and seen your y pipe set up nice man

senicalj4579 Oct 30, 2010 02:50 PM

If your gonna get cats then you need to just get the tsp catted y pipe. ORY stands for OFF ROAD Y PIPE. Off road means no cats. I have the ory.
I also have non adjustable borla so you will have same exact setup as me.
Yes,my ory fit up there pretty good but I ended up dropping it lower. Its still good though.
