OK. I'm probably asking a lot, but which header is the easiest to install, is durable and will make decent power on a lightly modded L98? I've done a search and it seems like most folks tout SLPs. Are they still king? Will I need a new Y-pipe? Thanks!

 

i believe the slp's where discountinued,not for sure.although the hooker 2055's they appear to be the board favorite.

 

get them used off the classifieds

 

So no more SLPs. Do the Hookers need a Y-pipe, or will they bolt to the existing one? Thanks again!

 

the 2055's come as a kit there are the headers and a y-pipe.

 

if you have the money, look up DynoDon here on the boards, he sells headers that are pretty much "improved version" of the slp's, 1.75 primaries, with the clearance problems fixed and a much better y-pipe. Im sure they are not cheap, but they look very nice, and they are coated

 

Thanks for the replies! I don't think I need 1 3/4" primaries on a stock L98 though, or do I? I'll definitely look into the Hookers and check the classifieds.

 

Wherever you buy, make sure the Y is included (the OE Y won't bolt up and fabbing is costly and often unsatisfying). The Hooker 2055's with accompanying Y will probably suit your needs.
