what size y pipe do u want? i dont know much and as reading the stickies im still alil confused on waht to purchase. so please can u guys give me sum help and point me into a nice set of headers and y pipe for my car, thanx

 

I just installed Hooker 2210 longtubes and a Mufflex Y pipe. They both fit great with no trouble on the install, I couldnt ask for better fitting stuff. I was able to use my stock starter and everything.

hey seth, how did u fit long tube headers? i tryed doing that and i couldnt get them to work on my 84 years back. can u explain how u did it? and whyd idnt u do a dual exhaust if u used long tube?

 

I wanted the ground clearance and I didnt want all of the noise from the duals dumped under the car, They fit fine, I originally put them in before I put the motor in, but I had them out a few times, The passenger side slides in from the bottom really easy and the drivers side went in from the top, didnt take long at all.

 

Hey yeah that's what I tryd to do last time, I think it was the passenger side I was having a problem with. Can u tell me how u did it or any modds u had to do for them to fit perfect?

 

I like dual 2 1/2" into a flowmaster y-transition, and then 3" single out. I run that even with manifolds.

Since your info says that you have an LO3, you need a y-pipe badly. Believe it or not, you got the worst manifolds and y-pipe that GM ever put on a V8. If you only took those off and put on stock TPI or LG4 pieces, you would see a drivable difference.

Merry Christmas!!

 

No mods, I got poly motor mounts, with the starter out you can slide the pass side in no problem then put the slip tube in from the top once the starter is back in. Actually I had to bend a brake line like 1/2" out of the way took like 2min to take the bolt out and bend it a little, other than that everything went smooth

do i want shorty headers or do i want long tube headers? and what is the difference?

 

long tubes can make more power, but they will not pass emmissions, if that is an issue to you.

 

emissions is not a problem. will long tube fit in my car without a problem?

 

Longtubes can be a real PITA!!

You will have to custom fab the complete exhaust if you go with the LT's and it takes a long time and someone with good skill on a pipe bender to get the system tucked under the car so it has decent clearance.

 

well people have sed they got the long tubes in with no problem. and i would just be doing a y-pipe setup after the long tubes. im sure u can tuck it all urself without a pipe mechanic

 

Do not want to steal the topic but I read that on 91-92 LB9's they had LO3 exhaust, is that true?
