Hooker headers "2460" long or short style?

Are them style (part number) the shortie or full length header?

Are they a ***** to install?

Do they come with the A.I.R hook ups and O2 sensor spots?

If they do not have the A.I.R hook ups, should I remove them?

Thanks

Ok, I anwsered my own question. The 2460 headers do not come with air hook ups, but I don't need them. They do, however, come with o2 sensor spots. Also, they are shortie style, so they should be easy to install.

Now, an even bigger question: I have the Flowmaster Y pipe 2 1/4" to 3" on order, will that work if I weld a pipe to it then a 3" single back to my catback.

So, my exhaust will go 2460 hooker shortie headers, into colectors, into 2 1/4" duals, into a flowmaster y pipe, out into a single 3" pipe, back into my flowmaster muffler, then duled out into 2 1/2" outlets.

Sound like a good system?

That system sounds pretty good but the headers are a ***** to put in.I have Hooker Shortie headers that go into a 2.5 y-pipe.That goes into my cat and then a Flowmaster cat back.I hope that helps.

GOFASTER, that sounds like a good combo.

Wait! You're thinking of using the Mufflex 4" system with Edelbrock's POS headers? Why?! That's the worst combo ever thought of. All you will be doing is wasting money on the 4" exhaust system, plus if you don't have the output that requires it, chances are you'll be disappointed. Either use the Edelbrock's and a good 3" cat-back or get the long tubes (if you have a serious motor that needs it) and the 4" mufflex.
