Headers & Y-Pipe...decisions decisions..... I didn't want to hyjack another thread so I'll start a new one. I have searched.....
I'm soon gonna be on the market for headers and catted Y-Pipe. My requirements are:
Headers:
-Stainless steel;
-No EGR or A.I.R fittings;
-1-7/8 inch OR 1-3/4 to 1-7/8 primaries.
Y-Pipe:
-Stainless steel;
-High flow cats;
-Flowmaster style merge;
-3 inch outlet;
-Good ground clearance.
Most header companies do not have more than 1-3/4 inch primaries. The only company I found with the Flowmaster Y-Pipe merge is QTP. They don't have larger headers, don't have any headers available until September and a search results in reports of poor ground clearance.
Of course, Kooks and American Racing Headers have the headers but lousy Y-Pipe merges.
Any ideas?

Thanks HVYMTL but the only TSP exhaust stuff they have is two Y-Pipes, neither is stainless.
I'm thinking I'm gonna end up with American Racing Headers & Y-Pipe. I'll go and visit them, they're not too too far from me.
Note to self: DON'T wear the Kooks shirt when visiting ARH.

My Pacesetters are lookin sad so I was thinking about goin with the Chrome BBK's for the price & included y-pipe. Hopefully the chrome will last longer than the coating on the Pacesetters.

If thats true I'll hold out for a set of those & skip the BBK's. Only reason I havent bought stainless LT's as of yet is price, I"m not gonna spend what Kooks & QTP want for a set. I work in fabrication & they dont have much in materials or welding time on those. Pricing them around $500 with get a ton of sales & cover the fab costs easily.
