looking forward to installing those on my gmmg, however I'm getting a custom y-pipe fabbed, don't like the jethot and it'll cost me the same in labor/parts for a fab than it would for the jet hot anyway :o

I would always have a Y fabbed. Always. What do you have to lose in doing so?

if you can make a quality piece that fits properly on the ebay headers (and for a reasonable price) then you would be a god among men on this board. but more importantly, i'd be interested in buying one lol

one thing I'm taking into consideration with having my Y fabbed is that eventually I'll have to add cats, so taking into consideration the length and size of the offset or regular 3" magnaflow spun metallic cats... shouldn't be that hard overall I hope

I usually notice the average LS1 Fbod guy is similar to me. Built, 6 foot or taller, Shorter hair, stern(ish) face.


That totally breaks my stereotype.



If I ever heard/saw that car roll up to a hang out with super tinted windows and that kid jumped out, I would be blown away.


Damn, I sound pretty shallow/stereotypical.

I just put my ssautochrome (ebay) headers on today. It was not 1/2 as bad of an intstall as I thought it would be. This was my first f-body header install and with basic hand tools and some common sense they were up and running in about 4 1/2 hours without any help. Tomorrow I will be making a custom catted Y. I wll get some pics up when im done.
