Wtb: shorty headers for stock y pipe
Hey guys, looking for a set of headers that will work with a stock y pipe configuration. I'd like to find a set of slp shorties but I really dont care what brand, as long as they'll fit. Please let me know what you have m. Thanks

Work with the stock Y-pipe configuration....yes
Will they connect to the stock Y-pipe without modding ....no
There are no headers made that will connect to the stock Y without welding.
But the stock Y defeats the purpose of headers.

Also curious why you don't offer stainless steel?

They do look great! Will these fit with A/C installed ? Are mods required to bracket? Have any engine bay pictures of some installs, can't seem to find some good ones of the engine bay.

Re: Wtb: shorty headers for stock y pipe
I should have stated that I have a 3" magnaflow y pipe in my car now. The magnaflow is one of the only y pipes that bolts up to the stock exhaust manifolds. Slp headed would be perfect for me but they're hard to find

No brkt. modding
I might have engine bay pictures, I'll look for some.

One more (early design) right side

Re: Wtb: shorty headers for stock y pipe
SLP's would be no different than mine as far as connecting to the Y-pipe.

Re: Wtb: shorty headers for stock y pipe
Thanks for the photo Dyno Don. For some reason, everyone always has a shot of the driver side! Yes, if you find a shot of the passenger side would love to see it. Is it possible for you to fab a stainless steel version of these if you are paid the correct dollar amount?

Hi Don
I was looking for some shorties myself. What is the cost for yours with and without the y pipe. Also do you have paint options and pipe size options.
Thanks

Re: Wtb: shorty headers for stock y pipe
That is good, cheap stainless is not worth it. As a young, broke man driving around a 1970 Barracuda with cheap headers I never want to do that again I want headers that will not have exhaust leaks and provide long term hassle free operation and are drop in allowing me to retain everything else in a stock configuration. Stainless is definitely on my radar as willing to pay more. It sounds like a stainless Dyno Don would be very similar to the original SLP, just better. That is very intriguing.

Re: Wtb: shorty headers for stock y pipe
I used Hooker headers and Y pipe and "cat" back. The fit was great and cost was not that bad at all.
