ok guys,

heres the thing..

the guy that was supposed to do my cam cant...his garage is busy and a guy quit on him today...soooo...now i am not doing a cam but still am gonna do headers and cat back...

now heres the thing...

which header is the best for the buck...this has been done a million times i know but there is a catch...

i want my car REALLY REALLY LOUD... the cat back has already been chosen.. hooker cat back...so with that said what do you think is a better or the best header for my situation??

reply and post a poll answer as well...

i believe i have a 305tpi although there is a hell of alot more power then a 305 should have and if you need more questions answered ask away and ill tell you the answer to the best of my knowledge...

thanks guys

iroc2nv

ps..forgot to say that money really isnt really an issue...so dont worry about the prices

 

what the hell guy? you posted on the ontario board saying you can run 13s and that none of us would give you any competition........and now you are saying you dont even know what motor you have ......what the hell? so you think its a 305 TPI and you say you run 13s and you are just now getting headers and a catback.......thats complete BS......september 21st....sparta.....be there......i wanna see this 13sec car (that you have right now, not with your planned mods).

 

I wouldnt mind seeing a 305 that does 13 without a catback and headers myself... let me guess a K&N took 3 seconds off and with these headers and catback you should be in the nines right?
ahaha just some friendly chain yankin ya hoser

 

i do have acat back..although its flowmaster...not the best one mind you so ...i have 3 inch from the manifolds to a 3 inch tip...and kns are only some of the equation..

anyways..hopefully ill know more next track day

ps this is a thread about what is better but i went to the local exaust shop and he made my mind up for me...

hooker fully headers mid pipe(i think they make one) and cat back... it should be done just b4 the st thomas track meet

iroc2nv

 

YEah if you have the hooker exhaust you might as well get the same brand headers. Are they the chrome plated, jet hot coated, or black?

 

if you have a 3 inch cat back already, just by the hooker aerochmaber muffler and replace the flowmaster with the hooker...it will be way cheaper that way. no need to replace your 3 inch pipes and 3 inch tips if you dont need too...

 

im getting everything from jegs

headers- 520-2460(part #s)
cat back- 520-16823

thats all i know..so thats what i think im gonna get..

thanks though for your answers

iroc2nv

 

The Hooker 2460's are shorties, don't have A.I.R. (normally - can be gotten with it, though - "520-02460" which is special order), and DO NOT have a y-pipe. In fact, Hooker doesn't offer one. The exhaust shop will have to fabricate one for you. They do have the O2 sensor fitting, though.

I don't know what you mean by "fully" headers. Never heard that term before. I've heard "full length" (which the 2460's are not), and "shorty" (which the 2460's are).

"Mid pipe" - not sure what is meant there, either, "intermediate pipe" is typically used of the pipe between the cat and muffler, and comes with the cat-back system.

I'd seriously recommend getting a full, itemized price for this job from the exhaust shop. It isn't uncommon for the cost of fabricating the y-pipe to exceed the difference between the 2460 headers and the 2055 ($349.99), which come with a very nice, mandrel-bent y-pipe.

 

I got seconds.

 

i ordered them last night before i went out and gtecd my car again.. i have gotten a price from the exaust shop(he sponsored my cav so hes giving me a good deal on this as well) $400 for the total install headers,catback and everything...so i cant wait til i get them on...(already paid for)..

now heres the thing..

im gonna have to tow it to the damned place because just after i gtecd the car my fuel pump went...(130,000kms) so i wont be able to drive it there...as well i wont be getting to st thomas either...ran low on the funds so i cant get there..(need to fix the fuel pump) oh well next year i guess..

btw when i gtecd it..i didnt set it up and it was another guy that had it and set it up..i only did the 1/4 in 14.34secs at 97mph.. a significant loss but then again i do have holes in the exuast (just after the muffler before the tips) and no thats not an excuse but ill take it as it is...

iroc2nv

 

LOL

That times is still BS. And holes after the muffler might make you faster if anything. I got thirds.

 

Well before you spend money on exhaust why dont you get your car painted all one color?

 

well if you paid attention youd already know that the car is going back to its original colour (artic white) with either heritage stripes or just one big like 2 foot stripe down the centre...or even maybe nothing at all but the white...well have to see...

iroc2nv

 

wha? i'm confused cuz you just contradicted yourself. in your first post you said price was not an issue concerning headers, yet in you post about your fuel pump going you said that you're running low on funds and tahst why you won't be able to make it to st. thomas? i dunno whatever but IMO i'd go for the hooker headers

 

It may be because he declared his stock 305 IROC a 13.5 second car and we called him on it. But maybe not

 

actually i had bought them sunday (headers and cat back) did the gtec run raised like a 14.3 or something..and then on the way back it started sputtering and died like 2 mins from my house..

thought it was the fuel pump..its not...have no clue what it is...so im in deep doo doo... at least my dad is a mechanic and well find out soon...i am still trying to get there for the races, and either way ill be there...maybe just without the roc..oh well things happen i guess

 

LOL OWNED!!!!!!

This kid cant even post a technical thread without getting it!! Got Rice.
I payed 100 bucks for my hedmans LTs and am gonna see how hard they are to get on today.

 

jucingta..

for your personal info..i am probably alot older then you as well as smarter..but i wont go there cuz it isnt worth falling to your pathetic level..

have a nice day

iroc2nv

 

bingo

 

iroc2nv aren't you only like 23 or something like that? and on top of that you own your own performance shop which i would assume woudl require some amount of knowledge about cars and what goes wrong with them, which then doesn't explain why you would take your car to a mechanic instead of finding out yourself. I'm not "calling you out" per se I'm just a little confused. I'm only 17 so in no way am i saying that i know all about cars but i just figured performance shop OWNERS woudl know a good deal about cars. anyways let us know how those headers are

 

ok,

heres the thing..yes i do own my own shop..but i am new to the "muscle car" era..wheras the honda and import stuff is sooo much easier..yes i know a motor is a motor and so on but its not that i dont want to find out myself....its that i have no time...and the stuff i do all day isnt just engine stuff...most of our sales are from "rice articles" ie wings skirts rims lights and so on...

and im always on the comp(considering we dont have a shop, although we are doing fine right now out of my garage) we have all the tools neccesary to do the job well and correctly..

iroc2nv

 

where is your shop and what is it called?

 

like i said it is out of my garage at my house and the name of the company is called QUARTER MILE PERFORMANCE BY STAGE 4 (located in keswick ontario about 45 mins north of toronto)

mostly people around here and had one guy from toronto cuz we got him an intake for cheaper so he came to us for everything else..

pm me if you need anything

Here is a pick of my hooker super comps. Well one of them it is the driver side. Worth the money.

 

I thought the Hooker Super Comps were long tube headers. Are the ones you posted the pic of Jegs pn 520-2210?

 

I also thought the Hooker Super Comps were L.T..Those look like Hedman's .I just bought some and they have that little plate or badge or whatever on the driver side header .

 

This is the pic I found for the Hooker Super Comps for thirdgens on Summits site. Part number HOK-2210. Is this the correct picture of them.

 

the ones that i am having put on my roc are shorty headers..i got the whole super comp exaust from the headers back..cost me like $550 canadian shipped from jegs...i have the part # for the cat back but they didnt put the part # on the invoice for the headers..ill find them if you want...one more day..hopefully shell run long enough for me to hear her

iroc2nv

 

its all clear now. so thats why your car looks like it does
