Default Buying my headers, just a quick question

I work at Oreilly auto parts, so i get my parts real cheap, which means I'll be buying my Headers and x-pipe this week.

For the headers, I'm either buying pacesetter or hedman, I'm spending as little as possible and because i can get them real cheap from my work. These are the 3 different ones.

Hedman Hedders 68534

PaceSetter Performance 70-2256

PaceSetter Performance 70-2253

The last one doesnt come with reducers, my question is do i need them if Im having a shop custom make tru-duals?


This is the x-pipe:

Magnaflow 10782



And I'll prob just throw on some straight through glasspacks...

depends on what size exhaust your running. if your going to try and do 3" duals then no you dont need reducers, if your doing anything besides 3" then yes you will need the reducers to mat up what ever size pipe your running.

i also have a question of my own for you lol. I live in Michigan as well, looking for a shop to do my TD's. Who are you having do it, how much is it gonna cost you? I've only found a couple guys who want over a thousand bucks and most people just say they wont even do the job..lazy people ha

You're going to have a hard time finding a better deal than the TSP true duals imo.

I found a guy who will do Crush Bent Aluminum for 250 if i supply all the other material ie: mufflers,tips,xpipe,reducers, and says i HAVE to have cats... not my ideal setup at all lol but i might take it cause i feel like i would rather have crush bent duals than mandral cat back
