LOL, the picture is a little off. and the headers are for a dual cat car.

the picture is of V6 headers, and that would leave quite the exhaust leak.

but yes, you definatly want to go with headers for a TPI car. despite the fact you have a LG4, and they will bolt up fine.

go with something like this.

Hooker super comps. comes with the y-pipe.

everyone that buys them, seems to love them

The 305HO (L69) headers will work as well. Some, like Edelbrock's TES headers, provide the air tubes, heat stove, etc. (As I recall, the TPI air tubes face the wrong direction for a carbed car). Check Summit EDL-6874. I swapped the L69 stuff on to my LG4, and while headers would no doubt be better, I'm smilin. Note the day-and-night difference between stock LG4 and the L69 y-pipe below.

Yes, the 2055's will work fine. Only the driver's side A.I.R. faces the wrong way.

I hope you realize the entire LG4 exhaust stinks. Get rid of it all. The 2055's won't bolt right up to the LG4 exhaust anyway, so get a full TPI single-cat set-up while you're at it.

IIRC, the TES dual-cat set is less in Summit than the single-cat application. But, it's been a long time since I checked (and I don't feel like it right now).
