Yes........but

These are the Competition headers. No Y-pipe comes with them, and AFAIK, Hooker does NOT make a bolt up Y-pipe. The Super Competition are the ones that cost $550 or so, and are smog legal and come with the bolt up Y-pipe.

Ohhhh...

well would my HEdman Y-pipe bolt up to those? they look identical to my hedman headers...

If so, why doesnt everyone just get the $80 Hedman Y-pipe, and those $320 coated headers and call it a day? (with a catback of choice, of course.)

sounds a LOT cheaper than any other route i know.

I don't know for a FACT the Hedman Y-pipe won't bolt up, but I wouldn't bet on it.

No offense, but the hedman y is a piece of junk anyways... I'd just take it back and either get it bent up by an exhaust shop or buy the hooker package.

I should explain, the hedman unit is a 2 1/4" to 2 1/2" y pipe - there's no point in installing it or having 3" afterwards, as it will significantly reduce your flow. The hooker "package" is a header/y-pipe combo that fits well and has the proper size of y-pipe to boot. I'm sure that some of the guys on the board will know the part number - I do not - but a search might yield you some results on that front, as well. Option three is to have an exhaust shop bend you up a y, which is what I had done for my Hedman's, and it looks and works GREAT. It wasn't all that much more expensive than the crappy Hedman y anyways - it came to about $195 bucks Canadian, which is only 40 more than the other one.

Definetly do not go with the hedman y-pipe, it is tiny. I have it and am sorry I got it. This spring I plan on having 3" pipe welded onto it so I can get some more flow, as Im betting that 2.5" pipe isnt helping my 350 breathe.
