Re: have order the hedman headers!but have a few questions!!

You should be able to use standard length spark plugs. You can order a matching coated Hedman y-pipe that will bolt right up from Jet-Hot. I ordered both from Jet-Hot and it included everything necessary for the installation.

Do you need an 02 bung? The headers dont have one. I had to add a heated 02 to the y-pipe.

I wouldnt even try to re-use the factory y-pipe even if it's in good condition. It defeats what you're trying to do.

If it's not too late, I'd cancel the Summit order and order the header and y-pipe package from Jet-Hot.

Re: have order the hedman headers!but have a few questions!!

hello

yes i need an 02 bung!
can i weld a bung on the header or on my Y pipe!!??

and why must i cancel the order by summit!!
i mean that Jet-Hot is a litle bit expensiver for the headers!
and i live in europe the netherlands so i must pay a lot of shipping cost!
and by summit is the shipping cost normal ($126,-) 7-21 days

Re: have order the hedman headers!but have a few questions!!

hes suggesting to cancel your summit order and simply order the headers WITH the nessicary y-pipe from jet-hot. You could just place an order with jet-hot or the y-pipe by itself though. In the end you will probably pay more shipping for two seperate orders though.

Get the hedman y-pipe....this way you wont have any fitment issues.

MAKE SURE YOU CHECK FLANGE TYPE AND INLET/OUTLET SIZE.

You dont want a 3bolt flange header with a ball and socket y-pipe flange...just so you know.

The Hedman y-pipe is a poor piece compared to others out there. 2-1/2" connection to the cat - actually, it eliminates the cat with a 2-1/2" pipe. It's intended for an off-road LO3.

Your original y-pipe will have to be modified to fit to the Hedman hedder collectors. Actually, to any header that doesn't come with a y-pipe.

I'd say cancel the order and get Hooker 2055-1HKR's. Or get 2055HKR's from Jet Hot. Shipping is going to be expensive no matter where the come from.
