LS headers
This look like I pretty good deal? I have never used anything from Texas speed. I would be looking at the headers and Catted Y-pipe.

IF Texas speed is any good I can get full length stainless and the Catted Y to my door new for $772. I am not sure $600 used is a deal.

in a perfect world headers would look just the way we wanted ,but seems even the best turn color with time ,I think as long as you keep your engine clean headers well just be what they are ugly ,but with a nice clean engine ,I don't seem to notice as much that my black headers turned brownish black ,an will start to rust .to me its just the rust not the change in color,but I am thinking mine have not rusted yet couse I have not drove in the rain since the new engine was put in

ive got kooks with the jet hot coating and they have not changed color much, still lookin good after years of use. there is one small spot where i had a hot cylinder for a while. unburned gas getin in the header pipe and got er red hot.

I drive my car about 20,000 miles a year, I don't want rusty headers but looks are not important to me. I would like to find a set of mid length header, I was looking at this because its cheap and I need cats at some point because mine are rattling.
Anyone ever head of these guys? maybe a ebay brand,

the TSP headers are a direct copy of the kooks headers, surprisingly, they're actually pretty good quality for the price.
Speed Engineering is even cheaper yet, I have a set o them sitting here, haven't tried toinstall them yet

Thanks for the info, I did not see a Cat option on Speed Engineering y=pipes. I wonder if the Texas speed Catted Y pipe would work with those headers? Where I am at the Catts have to be there and no codes. I do not get a sniffer in the tail pipe so in theory fakes Catts would work if I get the error programmed out.

some guys wrap them every few years wich it seems once in the car makes it harder to do it right,guess if mine was not 95 moding it would not have been a good idea 96 or older ,I was told ,no emitions test ,needed an it stops there in NH ,I thought it would rotate that bye now a 97 would be excempt then 98 as each year goes by ,that may be a federal law not sure still ???
