Get the 1-7/8" headers, but also go with a 3.5-4" merger exit on the y-pipe and preferably all the way out the back.If a new larger dia. cat-back is out of the question then at least run the 3.5-4" dia. pipe into a 3.5-4" cut-out then, reduce it back down to 3". Doing either one of these will help maximize your hp/tq increase you'll see.

Fast is top notch? What's that's even mean? Only reason I was considering switching is for the larger intake & TB. I'd put this ported typhoon up against a Fast 90 any day. I'd like the LTs but the car will scrape bad if u havent noticed the cars lowered. Think I'm gonna keep this setup til the LQ4/9 and procharger

Yea I was talking with my buddy yesterday who built the motor and he doesn't think it's worth the swap, he said if anything just loose the cats.

ok, you go with that heat soaking intake and mids choking up your motor.


i told you where to go to get things right. have it your way.

Ya i would go with LTs at least. Pick up some HP... I wouldn't waste time or money on shorties or mids. TSP has SS LTs for cheap. Pacesetter BBK... all budget LTs for cheap. I personally would go TSP.

So then why start the thread if nothing is going to change? And a heads up you can port the Typhoon to 101mm if you feel you need to
