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.

Re: hedman header plus y-pipe question

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

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.

Here.

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.

Oh, ok my bad, I thought he was talking the y-pipe was a misprint, sorry. Yup you are right, the headers are 3-bolt, I just looked quick, and my headers are the ball and socket flange version.

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?

They are suppose to be better, they dont use gaskets, and are not suppose to leak.
