I have the Edelbrock #6872 you mentioned, and I've been happy with them. $300, and they come with everything you need to install them, and they fit good.

stupid question of the day...

Nice looking headers. But what are those tubes coming off the top? Is that for exhaust gas recirculation?

Hey, my car has those. Where's a good article to read about those?
And if it sucks, how do I get rid of mine?

Hey, where did you get those headers...they look great!
What is the web site, what is the part number?
What was the cost?
What cat are you using? What part number and cost?
Thanks,

I'm going shopping.

Hey. Thanks for the comment! I just got through installing the headers this weekend, but haven’t gotten the rest of the exhaust on yet. Sounds good with nothing but headers

But to answer your questions....
The headers are Hooker Super Comp. PN Hok-2055 from Summit. They run about $350.

I got a Catco cat from Summit as well. It's a 3" universal PN CTO-6007 (on Summit) and it was $51.

For what it's worth I also got the $200 Hooker Catback PN 520-16822 (from Jegs).

Hopefully I can get into a shop and have the rest done tomorrow.

David

Do a search on this forum, and you'll see Edelcrocks are the worst for that setup. SLP and Hooker are what you want.
