I ordered a Fastman 52mm, and a set of Summit headers 1 1/2 Primary’s. Cat has already been gutted with a FlowMaster 40 muffler.

What kind of gains am I going to get???

Will It be noticeable on the Butt Dyno???

do yourself a favor and get the "good" high performance header gaskets if you haven't already. I special ordered some from Napa and they're a TON better than the paper ones. big thick slabs of graphite... they seal really well.

 

Please post in a new topic if they leak or not once you get them on. I hear alot of bitchs about leaking gaskets. If it works for you im snagging a set. Please keep us informed... Id love to hear more about your topic.... As Im interested in doing this too.

Good Luck

 

Any updates on how your headers came out?

Was thinking about some for myself

 

I installed a set of Summit headers($170) a week ago, could really tell that I opened it up. Have not had a problem with the supplied gasket as of yet.

 

I just installed them this morning. So far there are no leaks. The only problem i had is the Y pipe didn't line up just right. It was about 1/4" off which wasn't bad. Just pried it into place and bolted it up. The rusty bolts were a PITA. I had to cut the bolts out of the collector.

I can tell a nice gain in power from the TB and Headers, especially on the bottom end.


UPDATE!!!
Evidently these headers are to be sand blasted and painted with High Temp header paint before installation. I didn't know this before I installed them. I thought the paint that was on them was High Temp header paint, but I was informed that it was just to keep the headers from rusting while they were on the shelf and being shipped. All the paint peeled off down to bare metel after 10 minutes of running.
