headers question

Just seeing if any headers will bolt on and go to the stock y pipe or if the y pipe has to be changed also
thanks

Re: headers question

As has been said numerous times on this board, no, you cannot mix and match headers and/or y-pipes. They are designed by the manufacturers as matched sets and cannot be separated. You cannot use headers with the stock y-pipe nor can you use aftermarket header y-pipes with the stock manifolds, either.
