Thankyou. Ordered from Nick at ARH.

Yes, they came with O2 extensions, graphite (I think) gaskets, and 3 band clamps, plus a few nuts and bolts (I'm not sure where they go yet).

Very nice. Is your car lowered? If so I'd be interested to see how much ground clearance you end up with and weather or not the Y hits the floor under hard acceleration.

F8L, the nuts, washers and two bolts must be for the y-pipe hanger.

Dave, lowered about 3/4". I can snap a picture after install, but I read that the y-pipe isn't the lowest part of the car. As far as hitting the floor, I never heard of that happening when I researched. Supposedly, that's why you pay more for this setup, better design, fitment, and materials.

I have cats on mine. Those cats flow very well. Those headers are soo easy to install.
Great choice.

I'm glad to hear they're easy to install, maybe do it this week. I got cats too.

Quick question, someone asked if the y-pipe ever bangs the floor under acceleration. I was curious too. Thanks.

I haven't really taken any clearance pics since I installed mine, but here's a couple that gives you kind of an idea. I actually have more ground clearance since installing the headers then I did with the stock system, and that's with a catted Y too.




If you search, I made a post when I installed mine and included lots of pics and a link to even more pics, of the headers, the install, and inside the headers and y pipe that really showed their great quality. By far, the best money I've spent on the Z so far.

Ground clearance is not an issue. I actually think i gained some over the factory stuff. Catted y as well.

Thanks for the replies. Even though it seems like a lot of money to spend on headers, not having to worry about fitment issues is worth a lot to me.

I'll get some more pics up after I get my ARHs and heads installed.

Rebelphotog, I saw your thread, nice job there, and your Camaro looks great!

Thanks everyone!

the gaskets that came with the kit, are they MLS (multi layer steel)? if not, stay with the ones that are on the car now or purchase new ones.
