First of all, let me get this straight - our choices of combinations when it comes to headers are:
1) Catless headers (e.g. AA), retaining the secondaries
2) Catless headers, removing the secondaries
3) Catted headers (e.g. AFE), retaining the secondaries
4) Catted headers, removing the secondaries. |
Honestly, IMHO - it just depends on your purpose of the car. If youre trying to extract every single pony, then ideally the most straight pipe would be ideal. Header back with a nice straight pipe towards the end or side of the fenders. Again, in my humble opinion based only on my random thoughts and logic. I just wanted a better flow, louder sound and a nice crackle and pop, which I was able to accomplish without compromising any emissions issues or future headaches.

Speak more of this, would you? Does the Y pipe allow better flow? Any information/pics? Purdy please?

Yeah, it's a real PITA. I did not even bother trying. I knew I'd just curse the time and pound my head against the wall. I hope you get it done at a good price. Again, it should be around 5 hours shop time.
