cheapest headers/y-pipe 305 tbi
I'm just looking for the cheapest set of headers and y-pipe for my 91 RS with a 305 tbi motor. i dont care about performance or looks. i wanna get rid of all my smog cram and clear out the engine bay a bit.
What should i get? summit sells crap shorties for 90 bucks, but i dont know if theirs a matching y-pipe. is there anything cheaper than that? or should i look for used ones?
thanks

Air does not make your car slower.
My Swiss edition 91 trans-am lo3 with mac-performance haders and performance chip goes over 220 km/h = 137.5 miles/h with 3 persones and compleatly full of lugage.

You can drop the whole AIR and smog setup with only the delete pulley (or re-route the belt) and some brass plugs for the AIR tubes
You dont HAVE to get headers to get around the emissions

as for the collector size, they will bolt to the matching y-pipe, and then straight to my catback? its all factory, but has been refreshed with new pipes, im going to swap out the muffler tho.

I just bought the flowtech headers and y-pipe from jegs they were factory collector size and what not, the whole total was like $210 and then i bought the cat test pipe on ebay for like $65 and a flowmaster 80 series muffler. Have'nt installed it yet but will this sunday. I just went the cheapest route to get some aftermarket into my car... after all im only a kid...lol

Where'd you find that price? I've been looking for a set, but I can only find them at Summit for 270.
