Okay Headers??

HAS ANYONE USED SUMMIT BRAND HEADERS AND ARE THEY GOOD? AND IS AN x PIPE FOR THE CAR GOOD OR SHOULD I STAY WITH THE Y AND ONE MUFFLER. I WAS TOLD AN x-PIPE AND TWO FLOWMASTER 40S IS GREAT. WHT DO U GUYS THINK.

Summit brand headers are the same as flowtechs. You get what you pay for. You usually only go with an xpipe if you have long tube headers and want true duals. You will need a y-pipe for those headers. It would take a lot of fab work to get an x pipe to hook up to shorties. That money could be spent on better headers.

You aint a kiddin fabing up true duals for shorties is a chore, even if yo go the stock routing. knowing what i know now i wish i had LT's but the footnotes said doesnt fit manuel trans. i know 2 guys who have em.

Go with Hooker or Heddman. flowtechs blow they only come with 2 1/2" collectors.
