can anyone recommend headers and y pipe for a 89 iroc that has o2 sensors mountings......

 

edelbrock TES, or hooker. Edelbrock is an exact fit with the mounts.

Do a search man!!

 

thanks bro..

 

Hooker 2055 and matching Y-pipe are generally considered one of the best sets out there. Thats what I would have used if I hadn't gone with my Hedmans. The Hedman shorties are just as good as the Hooker 2055s, but don't have an O2 bung.

 

Hooker 2055's, Uncoated SLP's or Mac's. The Hedmans would be a close second. Do NOT buy Flowtechs, Summit, or Pacesetter headers.

 

Hooker 2055 or SLP.

 

Or these, which I make and are better than all the others:

I have a set myself. Soon to be put on my max effort motor.

 

Definitely go with the Hooker 2055's... as qouted by many others, they are simply "a work of art". Includes the o2 sensor bungs and the y-pipe. I would suggest a Random Technology Cat and Flowmaster American Thunder cat-back after that if you're planning on a full exhaust upgrade.

 

do the hooker 2055 have those top tubes? i dont want headers with those. and does the 2055 come with the y pipe as a kit? and can any one suggest were to get them..thanx......

 

anyone?

 

I just got SLP 1 3/4 headers for my '88. They're a bit pricy, but I picked up a huge amount of HP on the top-end. Night and day performance increase compared to the worthless factory manifolds that were there before.

Mine were ordered without provisions for air, but they can be ordered fully emissions-compatible if you'd like. They're the only 3rd gen headers made of stainless steel so they'll never rust out like other brands. If you live in a climate where rust is a concern, you might want to consider these.....

My full review (with pic's of install) is here. Hope this helps

wat about the y pipe? do they have the o2 fitting? and where do u suggest i order them? sorry for all the questions ...just new to this iroc stuff...

 

The 02 fitting is on the header itself



As for how much and where to get them from, pricing seems to vary from place to place but typically they're about $699. I got them on sale for $650 from LM performance but I can't really reccomend them as it took forever for the headers to arrive and the emails they sent me weren't very infomative.

I'd reccomed you go with one of this forum's sponsors..

First there's ThunderRacing.

The list price is $730 but they discount $20 on anything between $450-$1000 so the actual price is like $710. I've never had a bad experience with them and have never heard of anyone else having one either.

-----------------

Spohn sells them for $699 and is also one of our sponsors. I've never had any problems with them either.

Hawks 3rd gen parts sells them aswell. Also a sponsor. They want $720. (A little pricier, but not by much)

Like I said, they're pricey, but they're the last headers you'll ever need to buy for your IROC. 100% Stainless steel, perfect welds. and have the biggest primaries ( 1 3/4") of any shorty style header available for our cars.

Just think of them as the "Cadillac of headers" for 3rd gen Fbodies.

Just be sure to order their "Catalyst adapter" aswell. I didn't and the ypipe was about 6" too short. No worries though, I had my mechanic make one up himself.

It's basically just a 3" extention that connects the ypipe to your catalitc converter. No biggie.....

 

thanks for the info lt1 i appreciate it.......peace
