Default Remember the VETTE TECH Headers?

The "Wanted" section would be the logical place for this, but I'm guessing that I will get feed back here a whole lot quicker, here!!!

Anyone out there have a set of the VETTE -TECH Tri-Y headers?

With all the screaming and yelling about them I am hoping there just might be someone out there who would like to get rid of them????

Heck I would like to see a set.. Tri-Ys are the torque answer..and with an l98.. why not accentuate the positive..lol

I had a set of Try-Y headers on a 64 409 SS impala..what a nightmare to get on.. but nice performance boost.

There is a thread [ actually a Saga is more like it] on the Forum with loads of pictures on these particular ones. Try searching TRI-Y.

These particular units have the best Primary/ Secondary tube ratios.

Bassini has a set as well. They look as if they would do the job, I know these do.

Why not do that? Seems like theirs were for the L98 and were the 1 5/8" primaries.

TJM,
WOW! You've grown a foot since I last read one of your posts.

It took a while, but I got my Tri-Y's on and I REALLY like them. I have to say that when the headers were about done, I found a good deal on a SuperRam and put it on also, which added to the total time of adding the mods. For the headers there was some fabrication needed, and everyone seemed to find their own solutions for the needed fixes. I have the 1-5/8" headers, and from what I could tell by the postings, you might wanna look for a set of the 1-3/4" version. If my memory is correct, they seem to fewer fitment issues. The never-ending thread can be found here; ( I hope you're a speed reader)

Do tell, Bob. No way you can post in the saga and return with a one-liner! LOL

l don't care who you are...that right there is funny!

BTW: If there was any difference in the 1 3/4" vs 1 5/8", I couldn't tell it! Remember, the larger size are for LTx cars which have a slightly different config for external engine parts.
