Re: Headers with high flow cats and y-pipe or cam? oh yeah, i have 31,000 miles on my car so i got a while till warranty goes out so i want to use every bit of it i can
Re: Headers with high flow cats and y-pipe or cam? I'm gonna explain this the best I can being I have dealt with this some. A warranty can not be cancelled due to aftermarket installation of parts or accessories, "BUT" the warranty may not be honored if the installation of a part other than that of a factory piece is what caused the failure. Good example, a bent pushrod due to somebody raising the redline from a cam install on a motor. Or a busted rear diff due to the added power output from the installation of all the aftermarket boltons. I'm not in any way trying to discourage you at all but when you start modifying anything in the manner in which you are talking you run the risk of a warranty being voided. Some dealers are better to work with than others obviously but my advice is this. Do what you feel comfortable with and keep in your mind that if something does break that can possibly be because of something you added to the car then it will more than likely not be covered. Also keep this in mind, you will have a much larger headache to deal with if you ever have to take it in for whatever reason because they may question it. Keep this in mind as well the more expensive the part the more of a hastle you will get about it. Lets say a valve drops and trashes the motor being you put a cam in and such. Can you afford to fix the motor out of your pocket right away being you use it as a daily driver??? If so then go right ahead. If not then I would just stay away from a cam and stay with bolt-ons.

i'd base my decisionon the one with the best price, fit and finish, and ease of installation.
i got a good deal on some jet hots and a custom 3" Y with flomaster collector; 600 for both.
the flp is expensive because it comes with the headers and Y and cats and OR pipes. its a nice setup and i've heard some nice gains with them.
pacesetters are your best bet for price, cant beat the 400 or under for coated LT's.
id got with Hookers, Jet Hots, or Pacesetters.
