ok i've got $550 bucks to blow on an exhaust .....i need some headers w/ 3" collectors....and a catback exhaust...not worried to much about the catback quality just yet....preferably from summit....any suggestions....seems like a lot of headers are stock oem connectors???(2.5")....

thanx..........

just ansking for any tips or advice...not asking you to do the dirty work of setting my exhaust up for me...

thanks
rob

 

I would get the Hooker cat-back, but not sure if summit sells it, I know jegs does. With the money you would have left you can rule out SLP headers, I have the Edelbrock and it was an easy install.

yeah i was looking at edelbrock tes..but the connection to the cat is only 2.5"...i only have a mild 305......should i just go with 2.5"

I think some of the Edelbrock's due come with a 3" depending on the part #, something you might want to call summit about.

there are 2 main versions of edelbrocks for us. 1 has 2.5" pipes going to single 3", the other is the TBI one that has a heat riser for the air cleaner, 2.25" pipes going into a single 2.5" cat pipe.

OK I CALLED a local speedshop..they said...maybe i could try adding an 86 camaro y pipe and headers..cause they would be 3 "... i called summit...they said mostly everything is 2.5"??????

but.. would an 86 headers and y pipe fit my 83 ??? thanx

 

My TES system has dual 2.25" 'collectors' and Y-pipe 'intermediate pipes' going into a single 3" pipe that goes to the converter. not sure who you're talking to about this stuff or what they are smoking....

i called summit and sent them an e mail...they said the y-pipe is different on an 86 and up and it would not fit my 83......from edelbrock "Unfortunately the header # 6872 has a different Y-pipe and cross over pipe and these will not work on your 83 model." soo.. will it or not??????
