Re: headers with no air tubes

This is what I went with after searching for over a year. I will cut the air tubes off and weld the holes then have them ceramic coated. Everyone recommends these because they have a great y-pipe which you will need no matter what set you buy. There is no way around this.

If you want to avoid any fabrication work then use this set below and purchase the separate y-pipe. Notice however that the 2055s are full 3" and the 2460's are 2.5" at the outlet of the Y.

It will be well worth the extra money to have a ceramic coating if you don't want them to rust up within the first couple of months. If you choose the painted ones then be prepared for this no matter how many coats of hi-heat spray paint you apply.



Happy hunting
