During the winter I am completely doing a bunch of mods one of which includes A 2.9 Whipple and I need to get a new mid-pipe and headers and having a hard time figuring out what I want. As of right now I'm leaning towards Pypes. Any and all input appreciated =)
Best midpipe and headers to buy?
- Thread starter h4cHi
- Start date
american racing 1 7/8 longtube headers with there off-road h. Awesome fitment and it sounds bad@ss
ARH, but I like the X
got a video to show?
Love my JBA set up
I put JBA headers on my car for a few reasons. The first was the price, I got them from AM a couple months ago for $465 when they were on sale. I like that they use V-band clamps for the h-pipe and that they reuse the factory studs and being 1-7/8" primaries it made the choice even easier. Being a cheaper header I was a little worried about the fitment, but they fit perfect and I was able to use an air ratchet or hand ratchet on all but 2 nuts. Those last 2 nuts I was able to use a ratcheting wrench on. Install took me about 2-1/2 hours. Is there a better quality header? Yes, but to me it isn't worth paying twice as much to get them.
i went with stainless works. if i were to do it again i would go with arh...sw fitment sucked bbc
I went with Pypes. Fitment wasn't bad at all, I was able to use the factory studs, and I got them at a great price.
I JUST put a set of SW 1-7/8" headers on my car and the fitment was absolutely perfect! They fit like a glove!
Stainless Works! Top shelf quality and EXCELLENT fitment.
:dancenana:
epper:My SW headers hit my kmember causing an annoying rattle at low rpms. The fitment is horrible. I'd stay far away from them.
I musta got lucky! LOL!!
Me too no problems with SW only traction problems
ARH 1 7/8s fit great. didnt have to bend or dent them anywhere
2-1/2 hours? I thought headers were supposed to be a GIANT PITA!?!?:shrug:
Best combo. Similar gains to LT headers, can use e85 with zero wideband sensor issues and they're cheap.
I thought they were pretty easy. I was able to use air tools to remove all the nuts on the stock headers and like I said earlier on install I was able to use an air ratchet or hand ratchet on all but 2 nuts. The drivers side was cake and I had that done in well under a hour. The passenger side took a little longer because of the starter and I had to drop down that side of the K member to squeeze the header in. Once in place though all the nuts were easily accessible. Once the starter and motor mount brackets are removed you'd be amazed how much room is under there to work.
