Headers question(s)

Which headers will bolt on to the factory pipe locations? Also how difficult are they to install?

Thanks

Hi Vinny,

I'm starting to explore this too so I will be paying close attention to this thread.

Are you stock? I seem to remember you installing Vram right before I did.

Yup, pretty much stock. I am planning on getting the cats "cleaned" out to go along with the headers and Granatelli cat-back already on the car.

Why not get an X pipe with high flow cats?

If you want to keep the stock H pipe you gotta go with shorties, I believe.

Well, I will as time/money permits. I know that Borla has an X-pipe that bolts to the stock manifolds. So, I want to start with the headers that can bolt to the stock H-pipe, then later get the Borla X-pipe to bolt-on, then cats.

Only Shorties are made for bolt on to stock mid pipes.
