Re: Headers for H-Pipe Setup?
If you're okay with giving up any semblance of emissions legal and decent ground clearance, the cheapest way is Hedman long tubes 68460 (something like that) and a couple of Hedman header (s-extensions I think they cal them) and a bunch of 2.5 inch pipe and a couple of summit welded mufflers.

You could probably do it for around $350ish before any sort of labor. Probably one of hte easiest setups to build and the ground clearance isnt super terrible, it's just regular bad.

Sounded really nice...
Also, use all-metal locknuts for the collectors. They dont use a nylon ring, they use a warped thread or something... locks itself to the bolt so they wont come loose all the time. I had a constant problem with losing header collector bolts til mw66nova turned me onto that solution.

Your car may run a little funny after this. You wont get any huge gains until you retune the car, but it's not 100 percent necessary.
I would recommend you run shorties and a factory-style catback in general, but if you're dead set on this, that's the best way to do it.

Re: Headers for H-Pipe Setup?
Shorties are preferred because they run the exhaust from both sides of the engine through the stock location. The stock routing allows for decent ground clearance.
