hedman header plus y-pipe question
I'm buying these hedman shorties. Summit says to buy this y-pipe with it but the collector style on the headers is ball and socket, yet the y-pipe is a 3 bolt flange. So my logic tells me that it won't fit. If I am correct, then this y pipe is the one I need, correct?

Re: hedman header plus y-pipe question
I think thats a misprint. I believe those headers are the 3 bolt flange headers and these are the ball and socket. Someone please correct me if im wrong. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1∂=HED%2D68479&N=700+4294923429+4294839039+4294918680+400143+4294908153+4294907958+4294924930+115&autoview=sku

Yeah, that is a misprint. I have those headers, and that y-pipe and it fits fine.

Thanks for the help guys. Just ordered the parts. These should sound good with the jegs/magnaflow system i have on there now.

Re: hedman header plus y-pipe question
I have those headers with the stock exhaust and a gutted cat. Sounds like garbage so im purchasing the ypipe and a hooker aero chamber cat back this weekend. cdacda13 let me know how it all sounds when your done. What part of Jersey do you reside btw?

Re: hedman header plus y-pipe question
No, it is NOT a mis print, they make both, one with the 3-bolt flange, and another y-pipe with the ball and socket flange.

Re: hedman header plus y-pipe question
It IS a misprint for those headers. The ones the topic poster linked are the 3 bolt, not the ball and socket.

Re: hedman header plus y-pipe question
Heh. Im just curious as to why the ball and socket ones are a tad bit more expensive. are they easier to bolt on or do they fit better?
