American Racing Headers / y-pipe installed today !!!
American Racing Headers / y-pipe installed today !!! Just put on the american racing headers and catted y. I did it all by my lonesome in my garage and it took me half a day. Most of the damn time I was looking for tools.... as usual.
Fit was perfect. No alterations needed, I just had to jack the car up pretty high for the passenger side headers. But other than that.... there was not one major problem. These headers fit like a glove.
I have an LS6 intake and an underdrive pulley on their way and once I get everything on I am sending her to the tune/dyno. I was told that these headers are the new and soon to be headers too have for LSX cars. My tunner got 35rwhp from the exhaust alone on a C5. If you are thinking of getting stainless headers.... get these.
But we will really see once I get it dynoed.

Cool! I got mine yesterday and I was polishing them all day today 
. Glad to hear the install is easy. That's what I've been hearing. I'm going to attempt to put in my new prothane motor mounts first though.

Any pics?
I would like to see the merge on the y,
Thanks

i'll tell you what, that's a fine y-pipe. so much better than any of the others. this is the only stainless steel y-pipe on the market with a real merge. all the others just dump into the driver's side. what a joke.
