Re: headers and muffler question Hooker Longtubes (coated)= $630.00
Spend another $130.00 and get longtubes.
Eventually you will want to get longtubes and so the labor of installing and uninstalling and then trying to sell your shortys is going to be a great loss.

Re: headers and muffler question if i get long tubes dont i need to replace my ypipes too? and then i need to buy cat's also...i heard it was like 1300 for all of it. im not worried about labor because i will be doing it myself. the only thing keeping me from getting long tubes is the setup with ypipe because i already got the slp ypipe. what would all have to be done with long tubes and what am i looking at for price?
Re: headers and muffler question hooker long tubes with ceramic coating $580
hooker y-pipe $170
total of $750
then go get a pair of high flow cats and have them welded in. you can keep your slp y-pipe and have high flow cats coming of the headers but you'll have to have someone do some work to the slp y-pipe to make it work.
you should get rid of the slowmaster for sure.

Re: headers and muffler question If you are going the shorty route, I would go with the soon to be released BBK headers that have 1 3/4" primaries. I gained 10 rwhp and 10rwtq everywhere with them as well as a more pleasing exhaust note. There could be more power to be seen from them with more mods and tuning (I am running rich with them). My only other mod is a lid.
