I figure since they're stainless steel than you could save some money by not getting them coated, am i right? I'm either buying those or the edelbrock TES (coated)

Nope, SLP headers dont need to be coated, and they're much better quality than the Edelbrocks anyway.

Thanks Kev. I'll definitely get the slp's than, but do you know if I can get the 1-5/8" headers with the y-pipe that ends in 3" for the 3" cat?

Yea you can get the 1 5/8 headers with a 3" collector, just finished my install. Coated the slp's and they still get hotter than heck.

remember to get the cat adapter if you are running a cat
