Default Any 6.2 before and after LT header install 1/4 times?

Well im rly wanting to put a set of 1 7/8 ARH headers on my truck but dont want to be spending $1200 just for sound quality. Anybody install headers on there 6.2 and do any before and after 1/4 mile runs? If they will give .2-.3 off ET's i believe they would be worth it but if not well the sound will stay how it is.lol

If your worryied about price, I just picked some Pacesetter 1 3/4 Coated headers for 355$ shipped to my door. I had to have the Y-Pipe built at a muffler shop for 200$ but other than that it came out perfect.

You can bet money between geting your truck retuned and headers you'll drop .3-.4 in the quatermile.

I plan on eventually picking up some nice LT's. Not sure which brand I will go with, probably ARH. I have plenty of runs before headers with just the couple mods in my sig so I am also looking forward to what I can get after LT's and ORY.

Take lots of pics, really interested to see how they work out for you. I am usually the guy that has to buy the best of the best but for $355 that is damn tempting compared to the price tag on ARH.

What you doing for the Y pipe?

Amazon. Its under 07-09 6.2! I called pacesetter and they said they would match up! Bolt pattern matches and everything. Someone on here already has this set-up! I don't remember who tho! Headers and y-pipe shipped to the door was 450 I think! And I believe they are a lil cheaper now!

Yea I saw that on Amazon and figured it would fit, was about to ask that. Hmm that's pretty tough to beat for the price.
