Shorty headers ypipe question
I have the hedman matching shorty headers and ypipe which has inlets of 2.25" and the single outlet is 2.5". My motor has a heavy heavy amount of mods and definately needs to breathe some more. My question is can i possibly fit up the 2055 hooker ypipe to my headers by just changing flanges, would it be close enough? or what should i do for a bigger ypipe because i plan on going a full 3" from the y back.

Where would you get a 2055 y-pipe? Regardless, it wouldn't be close enough to bother ruining a good 2055 y-pipe.
Get a Flowmaster "Y" with a 3" outlet, cut off the Hedman "Y", weld in the Flowmaster.

Re: Shorty headers ypipe question
You cannot mix-and-match headers, y-pipes, or manifolds from different companies or stock GM. They are all complete sets and will not bolt up to each other.

Re: Shorty headers ypipe question
five7 that was the plan but the 2.25" is way too small for my blown 350 so that definately needs to be bigger to start.
Re: Shorty headers ypipe question
Yeah im in the same boat as you viper sorry bout the double thread mods but you can get the hooker y pipe separate the #16767HKR IDK if it the same pipe or size as the the one that comes with the hooker headers 2055 but it sure looks the same
What i might do is just order the hooker y pipe from a speed shop after i put on the hedman shorties see if it will fit them with little modification (it only looks like the drivers side y pipe won't line up) if it's way off and both don't fit i'll just return it
Is the hedman y pipe 2 1/4 ID or 2 1/4 OD

Re: Shorty headers ypipe question
id assume the hedman is 2.25" ID. I figure since 2.25" pipe x 2 ~ a 3" pipe flow so im going to just get the y end modded to a 3" pipe and call it a day.
