Default **Update** Headers are HERE-)

HereWow, I can finally say I've boughen the longtube headers with the 3" y-pipe. I bought the ceramic coated pacesetter longtube headers with the matching y-pipe from ebay, and I bought the higher quality headgaskets and lockernut set from summitracing. It all should be here sometime next week. I'm very excited, I just hope everything will go smoothly considering theres over $600 in investment here, so let's hope installation goes smoothly, and performance gains are noticable!

I kept meaning to post picture of my headers and Y-pipe but, I'm lazy. I hope the install goes well. I'm waiting for the rest of the exhaust system to get here before I put them in.

Pay attention to the flatness of the header and engine flanges

Think about what gaskets to use to eliminate leaks
such as this or similar:

http://www.remflex.com/

and commit to re-checking the torque of the fasteners a few times after installation

always good to do some
before and after
testing such as:

Default RE: ALRIGHT...FINALLY HEADERS ON WAY

Thanks guys. Well in additon to the headers, I went on summit and bought better head gaskets, and I bought a set of lockernuts as well to make sure no bolts were going to be coming loose. Also, as it stands, I have a complete exhaust system with a gutted cat. These longtubes and y-pipe will but up right into the gutted cat making it a true COMPLETE exhaust system. Man I just cant wait, this truck is already so loud and so powerful, I cant wait to see how it reacts to these things. Wait till I get the Fastman TB and the cold air intake kit, this truck will be disgusting. But header installation are on their way!
