Awesome! Also going with Kooks stepped race header on my build. I talked to Kook's and their Ypipe is aluminized not stainless, George SR @ Kook's told me they do not have the ypipe in stainless yet but are thinking about it.

Where did you get yours done and how much if I may ask?

Kooks did the stainless y pipe i payed 260 for it. I have a guy that talked to George and he said he would make me one. I am very happy they did though i wasnt to crazy about paying all that money and getting an anodized y pipe.

Dont forget when you order right through kooks it will be way more expensive talk to a sponser and see what they can do i garentee that it will be more then 20 bucks more through them.

Thanks, GForce ordered the Kooks headers and ypipe for my engine build from LME. They ypipe from Kooks was $250 (aluminized steel), was thinking 240 not sure why, thats where I came up with 20 bucks more. So for 10 bucks more I'm definitely pushing for stainless and hopefully GForce can get the price you did.

Looks like your Y has 02 bungs about a foot or so back from the collector, am I correct? Nice for wideband dyno'ing if so.

Yes sir the best set up they are the only way to go and i do want a wide band i was planning on it. By far the best quality headers and y pipe hands down. Look on the sponser ship form right above the for sale ads they are talking about kooks and the stainless steel y pipe.

ok 50 bucks more for stainless is still worth it, I'm on a tight budget but whatever, nothing a couple more weeks of ramen noodles won't cure . I'm running an open Borla so with SS headers, Ypipe & SS Borla I should never need exhaust work again.

Now I just have to find a good shop near Clear Lake, TX to custom weld some dual stainless cutouts for me , not putting the iron FlowTechs this go-around. Appreciate you looking up your receipt, it's not cheap but it's still worth it I think.

I've heard of the 20TL but never seen or heard it in person. I'll post an mpeg and some undercarriage & underhood pics when they get the new engine in and get her on the dyno for tuning, anxious... . Keep us posted on your buildup.
