headers question ??

[MunsterZ28]

ok on my 96 z28 i have a.i.r system and i was wondering if they make headers to hook up to it. i want to get rid of the dual cats i just wanted to know if i could avoiding removing all of my emissions?

ima newbie at engine work lol took me a week to put my cam in. now im looking to put on a full exhaust system, if you have headers, y pipes , or cat backs im interested

[badinfluence]

i found a set of cheap AZ Speed mid length headers

they have A.I.R. and egr hookups

I think most shorty/mids can be used with emissions

[MunsterZ28]

ok thanks ill look into some

[JoeliusZ28]

do longtubes or dont do it at all. almost every manufacturer makes emissions version of headers. Id recommend pacesetters. They fit well and are very reasonably priced.

[MunsterZ28]

thanks guys i found some nice pace setters on summit

headers $285
y pipe $120
slp loudmouth 1 $420 (marylandspeed comes with install kit)

if your cheap and dont mind buying used look on ls1tech.com and camaroz28.com for the deals

[JoeliusZ28]

i wouldnt go with a loudmouth on a header/no cats setup. you might as well just run a straight pipe for a fraction of the price.

[MunsterZ28]

i might have to check them websites im always looking to save money

really ? i was thinking about flowmaster but i love the loudmouth growl but u do have a point cuz its almost a straight pipe

Hooker

I got a used catback for $100 and it sounds mean as hell

[JoeliusZ28]

flowmasters suck for anything but sound. Hooker, magnaflow and borla are nice catbacks for the money.

I honestly think money is better spent on an electric cutout. you get the best of both worlds whenever you want.

The loudmouth sounds good on cars with stock manifolds and cats... but those same cars also sound good with no muffler at all IMO.

[MunsterZ28]

how much are electric cutouts ive never really looked into that. so would u suggest the headers no cats a decent cat back with cut outs?

[JoeliusZ28]

all depends what you want. if this isnt a daily driver, headers and true duals dumped at the axle are the best performing, best sounding, and cheapest way to go... but itll get attention from cops as well as drone inside.

[MunsterZ28]

its a daily driver in the summer months, droning out the inside its a camaro lol but catching police attention isnt a good thing i live a block from the station.

[JoeliusZ28]

well the e-cutout gives you a nice stealth mode, and a scream thatll make children cry at the touch of a button. theyre expensive, but its probably the most enjoyable mod ive done.
