Default QTP Headers

well this is not a tech question but i am sure i can make it one.

i just bought QTP 1 3/4" Race Style LTs. Now i can not wait to hear what my TD will sound like. Also got OEM header gaskets, stage 8 locking header bolts

I also bought the pro 5.0 with the 6" stick and the "H" **** too.

ohh here is a tech question. for the 02 extensions. will the square ones work??

So tell me what do you all think??

Yea, your '02 will take the square connectors.

Sounds like you have a nice setup there
Keep us posted on the gains if you tune or go to the track

IMO get rid of the stage 8s... I've experienced them first hand and they are a nightmare in my opinion. Just clean your stockers and use antisieze, but that's just my take. Good luck tho, and yes square extensions

do not heat wrap your QTP's... that takes away from the whole point of going stainless

You arent going to melt MSD's with the QTP's. Thermo Tech makes header wrap though. I am sure that there is a sponsor on this site that carries it. I wouldn't wrap those headers though either.
