Being that you get disconunts, look at SLP, Hooker, or Hedman. They are all abotu the same. Go with whichever you get the best deal on.

But why would we listen to your advise Tony. You have admited to "Tony-rigging" your car, with JB-Weld.

only interior pieces... besides is'nt this coming from the guy with a bottle cap holding up his clutch reservoir or somthing? and the guy who we had to pull over for so he hould plug a wire back in that falls of somtimes?

i only "tony-rig" on the side of the road.... and my "tony-rigs" are freaaking automotive art. chris can vouch, the brush is to piccasso what diagonal cutters and electrical tape are to tony. Very Happy

actualy, that one is prety cool... besides it's not a jery-rig unless it is on somthing important.

well, the bracket for the purge noid is kind of flimsy, so the bottle cap just holds it up, it is just sitting between the heater-box and the noid, to keep it from rattling and moving.

I've been thinking about either a system like that, or true duals, but it's too closed-ended. If I want to swap in a new engine, or a trubo setup, I'd have to rip out the exhaust to do it.

For now I'm going to leave what I've got on there, and get some money for another build-up.

I'm leaving the cat on my Car, even though I don't have to DEQ....

Just one more thing to clean up emissions.....besides, is not like its going to be that much of a restriction for my less-than-mighty 305.

exhaust wise, don't just get some painted headers, spend the extra cash and get coated headers, or at a minimal, stainless. having headers that look like shizzle after awhile kind of sucks, not to mention the whole heat thing.

the headers i bought are stainless and coated along with the y-pipe and I think for the heat reduction in the engine bay alone I'll be happy

for shorties, the Jet Hot Coated Hookers are usually best for a non-stainless header, but the SLP Stainless and Ceramic Coated are probably the best ones around, but most expensive at anywhere from 650-750 for a set with a y-pipe

medium or long tube headers, not as many options that work well, with the majority hanging too low, but PaceSetter makes a good set for the 3rdgen.

for cat-backs... Corsa and PaceSetter make nice sounding exhausts, though not as common as a flowmaster or a hooker aerochamber like a few members here have

its all a matter of cost and personal preference though, if you want non-coated headers its up to you of course, but ask those who have them and get their thoughts.

a header is a header when it comes down to it, but how long it lasts is up to you and your $$.

also, a good alternative to header bolts/studs are the Breslin split-lock locking header bolts... pretty nice, cost a little more but are well worth it

i also like the idea of a torx header bolt (they do make em), this allows you to get a bit in there and actualy tighten them. i plan on getting some.
