Ok within the next few weeks I will be getting some $$ and I want to buy my first mods for the notch...After doing research I decided that first things first and it needs to sound better....It's really quiet...when it's parked next to my friends 4.6 with a catless h-pipe and mac cat back you would never know my car was on lol
...(I will be getting gears next but the install is a pita and I can't do it myself
)
Ok I don't want to start another "are these headers ok" thread and i DID do a search and read every thread I could find about long tuben headers...but...
I am not spending $500 on a mass produced item that costs a fraction of that to make...with that being said I'm going to be buying some budget summit or flowpath headers....I know people say you get what you payfor. I have no problem cleaning up crappy collector welds or crappy coationgs....That is somthing that a nobrainer could fix...I know some people say their may be some fitment issuies but this is summit we are talking about....how long have they been around?
Basically what I want to know is if I do buy some summit long tube headers, I'm going with a mac catless h-pipe, and a mac cat-back.....does anyone know if I will have any issuies bolting the short h-pipe to the collectors of the lt's (both being 2 1/2")??
I know somepeople said they have some fitment issuies with their mac cb's but from my research thats only with a different brand h/x-pipe...
Another ? would be does mac make a short x-pipe because the only mid pipes that I found from mac were the h's that were ment to bolt up to the lt's?
Because these headers are only $100 I can eaisly get some nice grade 8 bolts so they don't fall off but do the headers come with gasgets/bolts (im asumming not because they are so cheap?
The way I look at it is, the summit headers will be a huge improvement over my very tiny, crimped/smashed, rusted stock headers....and for $100 who cares if they arent as good as the kooks they should not be for 1/5 of the cost....
