Are SBC Longtube ceramic coated headers any good?

 

Good for what, your lt-1?

 

Yeah your post isnt real clear...

 

Oh y lol yeh I guess that would help! Let's rephrase this are SBC longtube ceramic coated headers any good for my LT1 ? Anyone ever try them?

 

they wont fit in the car you have to have lt1 f-body specific headers.

 

As long as they were D port headers, they would fit the head, BUT, not fit in the car...

 

Ok well I wasn't sure cause a guy had some for sale over here where I live.. He just said he had a set of sbc longtube headers... Do they not make them for lt1's ?

 

a set of small block headers would bolt to the head(I think), but not fit inside the car. They make longtubes specific for LT1 F-bodies yes. Quite a few brands are availible. By saying he has SBC headers however, hes saying a gen I smallblock. Were you thinking SBC was a brand name perhaps?

 

+1 regular sbc headers will bolt up...but the damn things wont fit the car.

 

To be honest yes I thought that was the brand name . I am shopping for headers so I'm weighing my options here and looking at different ones so anything like sbc headers are new to me ya know

 

Yeah its cool, just thought that might be the confusion. Small Block Chevy (SBC) when describing parts refers to Gen I small blocks. Some parts are interchangable, many are not including headers, because our engine bay is too cramped to fit them.

Hooker, Pacesetter, Kooks, etc are all brands of LT headers.

 

Oh ok I appreciate it! Yeh I was confused for a secong but I get it now.. I gort another question I have a magna flow high flow ypipe on right now with borla catback..when I get lts I know I'm gonna have to get another ypipe but am I gonna have to cut some of the catback part (the ipipe) or will the ypipe fit to it and the lts

 

What I'm trying to say is the ypipe that come with my longtubes, will it fit directly to my cat back (the ipipe) or do I have to cut some pipe off of the catback pipe

 

I had to cut my catback to make the ory fit. i have an SLP LM cat back and we cut the intermediate pip almost all the way back to the resonator. I would assume there will be some cutting involved to make it fit.

 

A 3 inch ORY should fit an aftermarket catback, although it might be a bitch. It took an hour and a half of hammering and swearing to get the I pipe into the Y.

 

My mufflex is 3" with a 3.5" outlet, so we had to put in a reducer until i decide on something better, which come to think of it is probablly why we had to cut it.

 

Ok I was wandering if u had to cut some or not, or if it was just a direct. Fit... Now oi gott decide how to do my gutted cat once I get an ORY!! I'm thinking about just dummy it up on the back of the ypipe and tack weld it over the pipe so it looks like I have one on there what yall think?

 

or use a bullet muffler (glasspack), that way you will also reduce some of the rasp assosiated with catless systems...
