Default shorty headers....

I was wondering who makes the decent set of headers other than JBA. they are a little pricey for what you get.

I have a 1995 1/2 Z28, Its a single cat year. Is there anything different about this year, other than the single cat that i should be aware of or concerned about?

TIA for the help
Tom

I have MAC on mine, and have been pleased. Mac also makes a bolt in pipe that goes where your cat is so you can remove it easily. This allows easy reinstall for state inspections.

Yeah, no inspections rule. But I like having the ability to return to the cat, because I think the inspection will return to OK at some point.
