Re: Update on y-pipes for my headers
Does that mean you are close to installing the headers on my car ?

One more happy thirdgenner here. Don's Headers and Y pipe are great. It made the 383 breathe a lot easier.

I will use them on an off-road vehicle that will never be operated on a public highway .

Re: Update on y-pipes for my headers
I'm glad I waited to do the Formy up. I still have my DD headers (could almost mount them on the wall as art) and the need for a Y-pipe was high up on my to-do list for parts acquisitions. This is indeed very good news, especially for dual-cat folks like me.

Re: Update on y-pipes for my headers
Don, I sent you an email a few days ago regarding a purchase. I forgot to mention I do not need any emmisions tubes but I will likerly be installing an air/fuel ratio gauge. When you reply to my email please include a phone number so I can call you or if anyone here has a number for him please PM me.

If you need shipping to a Canada address, you need to contact TDS (lonsal) here on this board.
I am not setup to ship to Canada but he is, so you can get them from him.

I mentioned in both my emails that my shipping would be to Niagara Falls NY 14303 so if you could reply with pricing today and answer my other questions I can get the order in to you tonight before I leave for 10 days.

Re: Update on y-pipes for my headers
Does anyone know how to contact Don other than by email or PM?
I ordered headers over two weeks ago and have not had any replies to any of my emails on a shipping date. It is getting close to my next race and need to prep the car.
I had assumed he would have stock but maybe that was not correct. What kind of lead time have people had on their orders?

Re: Update on y-pipes for my headers
Nice looking headers Don! Also, nice work on the y-pipe! I guess yours aren't the "long tube" right? I don't think there are advantages to the long tube style, anyway, unless I'm wrong.

Re: Update on y-pipes for my headers
Long tubes would only have an advantage if you don't have any mufflers, and short pipes behind the collectors. In his book on Small Block Chevys, John Lingenfelter made the point that all you really need on a street engine is a free flowing exhaust system. As soon as you install a cat or a muffler, you disrupt the wave energy that reslts in an exhaust system having a "tuned effect" on the engine.
Don is building an exhaust system that will give better performance than the stock manifolds and still be smog legal in California. Long tubes move the cats too far away from the exhaust ports, and are therefore illegal for use in any smog controlled car in California unless it is not licensed for the street and driven only off road. The other disadvantage to long tubes on Third Gens is that they won't fit without either reconfiguring the floor for clearance, raising the car up, or having them hit the road on any rough pavement, speed bump, etc.

Re: Update on y-pipes for my headers
I agree. Our cars are making very good power with Don's shorty headers. They are well built and free flowing. You would probably do worse with long tube headers that are not as free flowing. There is such a thing as "pumping loses".
