I would be interested. I really want to do true duals, guess I'm old school. And I want to run cats. And I don't want dumps. But I want cheap. Guess I'm looking for the impossible.

What headers would it be compatible with? I'm liking the BBKs. Where you doing this work at, you need a test car to try this out on?

z28-4ever yes this is from the headers back. I'm not too sure where the slp headers end with respect to the pacesetter ones.

3 inches to the x pipe then reduce to 2.5 would give the best performance and ground clearance. Is that a possible option?

I'm building it based on pacesetter longtubes. Other headers that its compatible with I'm not sure. I live in the Dayton/Cincinnati Ohio area. So if anyone around wants a great deal to be a test fit car PM me. It might still be a few weeks till I get a couple kits ready though.

2.5" dual is more than anyone on here needs, unless they have big cam and serious heads.


Count me as interested!

Yea stainless could be a possibility in the future but the price would have to be higher of course.

I like the looks and ground clearance looks really good.
Got a sound clip?

Are pasesetter headers similar to the stainless xs headers? i know there are more than a handful of us using stainless xs headers so it may benefit making a different merge for a couple different header brands... just throwing that out there...

Oh, and if you need a test fit car for the stainless xs headers i will gladly volunteer my car. Ill be back from Iraq mid octoberish

Good point Jimmy. All brands are different. I wouldnt want to do any modifying making my Kooks work. I know the TSP Y works perfect with Pacesetters, TSPs, and Hookers. I also believe ARH and Kooks are very close. Just something to think about.

Well if the tsp y pipe fits all three of those then this kit might as well, but dont take my word for that yet. I'm still working on getting the original kit made. Once I do I will let you all know the price. And a stainless steel option might be a good posibility in the future if this kit does good.

Btw everyone thanks for all your input and replies. All the options you are proposing is great as well, really gives me thought for future kits.

Ya I would think the TSP true duals would be your biggest competition if the price is right. Only thing is theirs doesnt go over the axel and exit out the back. I am considering the Kooks setup next summer which is anywhere from $1300-1500 with cats. 3" stainless steel. It isnt cheap but after selling my catback and y-pipe it shouldnt be too bad. Knowing that itll bolt right up to my headers is a big plus. Im always open for different products though so Ill be keeping an eye on this thread. Get to work!

I'm trying to get this kit up on the market asap but I haven't had as much time as I was hoping to work on it this week. I said earlier that I was going to try and get a price up this week but it's going to have to wait till hopefully next week. Sorry for the delay. I also need to find someone around me to be a test fit car Big discount for anyone who lives close to Dayton/Cincinnati Ohio.

No updates yet sorry. I had just about all the plans done and ready to get bent and cut when my computer crashed and I completely lost any progress, and I didn't back up the plans because I have never had a computer crash on me before... needless to say I'm going to back up things now

I'm not sure how long it's going to be until I get my first kit made but as soon as I do I'm going to get the thread back ttt and let everyone know.

Again I'm sorry for the delay.
