Summit Headers

Well, summit has their own headers for our cars - They are like $75 - Has anyone used these? Are they even worth it, or will they burn through or something terrible like that? Do they come with a y-pipe? Thanks!

I have them on my car. Make sure you paint them cause the paint on them is just primer. I have to take mine off and paint them now . Any ways I think they are made to bolt to the original y pipe but I'm don't know because i cut all of the exhaust out before I installed them.

1.5 primary 2.5 collectors. Probably fine for a mild small block(most exhausts neck down to 2.5 anyway. Much better than stock. The flowtech y-pipe is not very good though, and really isn't a y-pipe. The passenger collector just hooks right into the 2.5 pipe from the driver--without an increase in size--2 2.5's into one 2.5 pipe. Custom y-pipe would be much better...

Sorry I'm not sure if there was a performance gain. I took my motor out of a 78 Camaro with a 350 trans, no headers and a belt driven fan. When I put it in the 91 i lost the fan, the got abetter first gear in the 700, a better gear 3.23 compared t0 2.73, and lost some wieght, so I don't know if there is a performance gain since all the other things made differences. It soounds better than it did and i didn't buy a performance exhuast for it.
