2055 or 2460?
Had a set of hooker Comp headers for a while, now it's time for another ypipe. The custom 3" one sucks and I want something easy. How do I tell if the headers are the 2055's or 2460's?
Here is a pic <img>http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...02_16_full.jpg</img>

me? no pic of the ypipe. Nothing special, just a piece of crap that a lockal shop did for me. Ugly as sin. Full 3" from the collectors. I'll take some pics when I take it off. I was hoping I could get a bolt on pipe, but I guess I'll have to weld up one on my own. thx.

Re: 2055 or 2460?
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but is there 2055's that do not come with the smog provisions?

Re: 2055 or 2460?
IMO the 2055's are the way to go because you get that nice 3" collector Y-pipe so you can run a 3" exhaust all the way back.
You can get some other cheap headers and have an exhaust shop fab up a Y-pipe for you but then it is about the same cost as just buying the 2055's.

Re: 2055 or 2460?
Would i be better off to buy them painted and cut/weld the tubes then have them coated or is there a way around that, so i could just buy them coated? I don't want bare spots on the tubes where the smog used to be.
I suppose i could just use header wrap on painted ones. That wouldnt look too bad.
thanks

Re: 2055 or 2460?
Hooker does make a y-pipe for the 2046 it's like 240 bucks though. It's jegs PN
520-16767. Not sure if it's a 3'' or 2 1/2'' though.
----------
It's has 3'' collectors and a 2.5'' outlet according to summit. Might be worth buying the 2055's and grinding off the air tubes.

SUMMIT RACING has the HOOKER Y-PIPE
3" Inlet...flared down to a 2.5" This can also be used to delete the cat with a nice finish...

Re: 2055 or 2460?
I just e-mailed hooker to see if I can order up the y-pipe from them...the 3" to cat y-pipe for the 2055's
Lets hope a good response....because then im just going to buy the 2460's like I had intended and hook up the 3" to it...HELL YEAH.

Re: 2055 or 2460?
Let me know how that goes and if it will work with the 2460's I'm in the same boat.

Re: 2055 or 2460?
Just got a response back from HOOKER TECH.
The 2055 y-pipe is NOT sold separate.
Nor does the 2460 y-pipe bolt up to the 2055 headers.
So it looks like custom it is

Re: 2055 or 2460?
Not sure if they charge any additional to cut the tubes and weld up the holes, but the coated headers are pretty spendy. Somewhere in the range of $700, give or take some, the last time I checked. I got really lucky though. A guy on the classifieds here gave up on his thirdgen project, and sold me the set in the pics for $460 shipped.

Dyno Don those look pretty sweet too, I just don't have that much for headers...

Re: 2055 or 2460?
On the 2460 y pipe, I cut off the 2.5" elbow/bend on the very end of it and had a 3" elbow welded on...
So, it has 3" inlets and a 3" outlet on the ypipe.

Re: 2055 or 2460?
the coated 2055's look real nice, but i was surprised looking at the pics that jet-hot left the nipples on the tubes.
for 700, you think they woulda taken the time to weld/cut them down flat and smooth things out a bit.

Don's headers are 1 3/4" to fit the larger, raised exhaust ports on today's aftermarket heads. Send him a PM for the details.

Re: 2055 or 2460?
Hawks third gen has the ypipe for the 2460's for $200 not a bad deal the cheapest I've seen yet... And it's from a sponsor here so that's always cool!!!
