i understand where ur coming from NJJer if u tested it which i didnt realize u did, you are going to be right..... so if you slap some headers on you should get the full performance of the headers, am i correct?

 

I see that your post is in reply to me?

I am sorry that you think that "I took it a little too far". That was not my intention at all.
At times when we try and help out, things don't always come out as they should.
If you re-read my first line, which maybe I should have written in another way, you may be able to see I am not trying to "talk down" about what the man has done.

I was not there when he did what he did. Maybe his "Y" is differant than mine? I don't know, all I can tsalk about is what mine is like and what results I have gotten.

Maybe the man did get the positive results he did in going to a new "Y" that is larger than the tiny one that was on there? If so, that would be easily possible if so.

I appologize to superdak05. Sorry Bro if things went wrong.


Thanks to lghtngblt02 for posting those pics. I see I need to tale more so that you can see more clearly. But with these, you should get some idea.

 

Lets see if I can help you with this and not ruffle any feathers. lol

Headers will show a nice gain, if they are designed a certain way.

Let me tell you what I have planned to test sometime, maybe fall/winter. No hurry to as my truck is just a go out/ weekend vehicle.

I want to do a set of long tubes. They must have merge collectors ($$$)
How long and what primary size? Who knows. Engine specs, and available room will dictate this.
Collector length? Again, comes back to what works and fits.

Cats? I will try stock. They are what can be called High Flow. Maybe I can get one on a flow bench and get some numbers? Only thing, measuring "cold" will not give the same results as when they are "hot". And we all know that they are hot when in use.

You asked, "so if you slap some headers on you should get the full performance of the headers, am i correct?"

Depends on who and what we are talking about? If the rest of the system is opened up like yours (dual Magna), then yes, *you should get as much as you could out of them.*

* This is if you get the thing tuned for its current set-up.

Mods can help, but to get the most out of them the vehicle should be tuned for it. The stock ECU only can "tune" so much.

I am just playing along with the stock ecu and have no intentions of mesing with a tune.

 

So....what do you ask the shop to do? To help fab a better less restrictive Y? and thats it?

 

From what I wrote above:

Cut off stock pipes as they exit cats.

Open up the exit to match the pipe size you wish to use. I used 2.5"

You going dual or single from here?

Don't forget that the O2 bungs have to be welded back into the new pipes.

 

alright so i plan on doing supercharger and headers at the same time b/c i know that headers put out alot more power when u supercharge ur truck, am i right?

 

True

Get the biggest primaries you can and use a large collector with equally large pipes on back.

Turbos and s/c like to exhale.
