Default Long tube headers

I used TPIS long tube headers and a "Y" pipe on our '96 LT1 coupe. The "Y" pipe had a 3" outlet to which I connected another "Y" pipe that was 3" in and two- 2 1/2" out. This eliminated the resonator also. I wrapped the headers with 2" header wrap, to cut down on under hood heat and pick up a few ponies.It will take a good day to do this project. Take your time and think things through. If you don't have access to a car lift, then use some "LARGE" jack stands and some form of safety blocks. If you need any more info. on this,email me and I will give you my phone number.

yep! It's a great deal.




by the way tax is included in mine!
just not shipping. which is usually under $30 for round trip shipping.

I'm assuming 02 bungs would need to be welded and the EGR tube removed...please, someone point me in the right direction!
Irish, I have a 95 I put hooker long tubes on and the only thing I had to do was weld o2 sensor bungs on them. I would install them about 3" from your primary tubes if you have room. Hope this helps.

If you have an A4, the cats are behind the transmission.

They're Random Tech cats. I got them from Exotic Muscle. Seem like they were around $150 each. Check their website.

the further away the cats from the headers the less they work. its best ot have them as close to the ehaders as possible... but I like this idea of putting them in place of the resonator!

I might have to do that!
nice

I ordered mine from http://www.pypesexhaust.com/mufflers.html
I have them, but have not got them installed yet. They appear to be of a good quality.
