Suggestion for a header/catted y combo I asked this question in the external engine sect but got like 2 repsnses. My next and nearest mod is headers and a catted y to complimnet my GMMG. I heard some QTPs with cats through GMMG and about jizzed in my pants. I know the ultimate setup would be kooks or qtp, but i dont wanna spend so much but i want a catted y that doesnt hang down to the ground. I have no clue what to do, Jet-Hot. pacesetter, hooker, or just fork out the money for koos or qtp??? ANY HELP IS GREAT. all input is welcomed.

I've got Hookers now and they are a PAIN to install but they do tuck nicely. They only have an offroad pipe available. The JetHot headers are a copy of the Hooker and I helped install a set 3 weeks ago... again a PAIN in the butt. The cats that came with the jet hots are a joke and the y-pipe is the worst I've ever see internally. I'm looking to sell my painted Hookers(no rust) with a y pipe that fit perfectly so I can buy some coated Pacesetters that will match with my totally polished engine bay.

I've helped install 3 jet hots and 2 sets of hookers...I thought they were all relatively easy installs. Maybe the Y pipe is the pita. If it were me, save your money and get kooks or qtp.
