i have the kooks 1 3/4 headers with catted y pipe. pricey but worth it. check for prices. i had summit match colorado speed or somebody like that.

 

i would get pacesetters, if they offer them for a 2013 which they should, but order them off summit instead of texas speed, get em way cheeper + FREE. Where summit paid alittle over $500 for 1 3/4 ceramic headers with the y (catless tho) vs. where texas speed was gonna charge me $629 dollars+ 80$ shipping....

 

I was looking at pacesetter but I want to get stainless and want cats. The truck is a daily driver and want the headers to last ( I live in Connecticut with harsh winters). I would also like to avoid it throwing any codes if I can. I have Lew do the tuning and I know he can tune them out but if I had to go to the dealer and return it to stock I would prefer it not throw a code.

Also would anyone happen to know if I bough headers from texas speed if another companies catted y-pipe would be a direct bolt on for it.

 

hmm.. i say there is just keep looking you should be able to find something.

 

I run a set of 1 7/8 KOOKS with thier cross over pipe and cats......ZERO issues with them and had them for over a year.....came with gaskets and hardware for everything (obviously)......I REALLY liked the fact that KOOKS uses a BALL end on thier connection flanges instead of the "slip" type......ball ends seem to make seal better.......

If you are still undecided....look at the difference in flanges for the headers over on LS1TECH.....they have had some discussions on it over the years that might be helpful and some of those guys have probrably been running thier name brand long tubes for longer than us truck guys.....after all...we used to have to run the F-body headers for long tubes on the trucks before the header companies caught on that we needed our own line of them.......

 

Well I would like to thank everyone for there thoughts. I think I have decided on getting a set of KOOKS headers with y-pipe now just want to start looking around for the best price.

 

Maryland speed give them a try first !!

 

Yeah I have seen them mentioned on this sight a couple times. Thanks I will definitely call them to get a price.

 

2nd that. They have sales over there.

 

Bull, you can tell a difference in power band changing primary size even 1/8 of an inch. With each increase in size, power band shifts up accordingly. Try em back to back and then get back to us.
