I wanna get some shorty headers for my truck but was wondering if they will make a power difference with the maggie...
i would invest in long tubes but my exhaust it already scrapping everywhere (5/7) and they are illegal in Cali, and thorley tri-y are expensive.

all suggestions welcome

 

Don't waste you money on sherties, got some pacesetter LTs , you can get someone in here to help you when smog check comes.

 

and what would i do about not having them hit my driveway? haha stock y pipe scrapes even going sideways

 

I'd stay away from the shorties. They aren't much better than your manifolds.

Most of the better fitting LT's and y-pipes I've seen fit inside the frame rails. The frame might drag, but the exhaust is still all tucked up out of the way.

 

Go to a muffler shop to weld some flanges instead of using the cheap clamps they supply and the shop will get the pipes sit higher.

 

looks good, is that a cat after the y?

 

That is an off-road y, without cats. They also make them with cats, they are small, and high-flow. Look up American Racing Headers, arguably the best quality and best fitting headers available.

 

damn son, $1500? i think id rather get me some gears ant posi before the headers

 

Gears & posi are worthy upgrades, and probably should be done before headers anyways. But the ARH are stainless, have plenty of size options(built to order), and the best collectors you can buy. They are(in my opinion) worth the coin.

 

cool, well thanks for the infoo man! Ill look into them after the rear end gets done!
