Hey guys, i just want to know whats the best buy for long tube headers.

 

if money is a concern i would dffinetly go with the pacesetter armor coated. theyre relatively inexpensive at about $420 but they are pretty good quality. i just ordered a pair for my 02 ss

 

Pacesetter is good and so is Flowtech (which I have and have no complaints about.)

 

Thanks. How HP and sound quality did you all gain?

 

My car got a lot louder but that is mainly due to the removal of cats. Long tubes can add about 15-20 rwhp on an LS1 depending on what other mods the car has.

 

awesome...sounds good. My next question is how do i find if headers and all that jazz is legal in the state of VA

 

im pretty sure if you get a set of headers with the EGR hook up they will still be legal, but im pretty sure its illegal every where to cut the cats. it depends how strict the cops are there. I cut the cats on my truck and ranit without them for two years . i plan on doing the same with my ss, but whenyou go get your brake tag some stations check for emmisions so thats wat you need to look out for.

 

alright thanks alot man

 

just change your brakes yourself...it's easy enough. And you wont get hassled about lack of cats.

 

no an inspection sticker that you get once a year that costs 10 bucks. sorry i live in louisiana and we call them brake tags. my bad
