im interested in getting headers for my car, but cant find a shop around here that will install them (i dont exactly have an emsisions legal car). so im interested in finding headers for my iroc that will bolt to the "stock" y-pipe i already have... behind the manafolds, the exhaust is 3" anyways.

the exhaust manafolds i have now are stock.

any help would be great.

I don't think anyone makes headers that short. If you did buy shorties you'd have to cut and reweld your flanges to keep the pipe you have.

and what would you suggest? im not really big into modifying the engine bay, or having clearence problems with anything, including the plugs....

I would recomend the Hedman shorties with the Y-pipe. That would come the closest to fitting the exhaust you have right now with minimal cutting, welding, and cost.

I hesitate to answer this type of question, because I haven't installed mine yet, but the Hooker 2055's have the y-pipe to a 3" slip-fit cat. Those who have indicated they have these headers are very happy with them. They look like quality pieces out of the box, hope to have them on soon.
