    long tube headers

    In about a month im going to get some pacesetter long tube headers. Ive looked at quite a few set ups but my question is if i need to get an ORY to go along with my headers. I plan on keeping my stock cats, but not sure if i need the ory or not. I was looking at the kit on texas speed.

    i would get it, just makes the install easier and less the exhaust shop has to do, so cheaper.

    This will be tough to do without a good welder and chop saw. get rid of the factory y with the factory cats or dont bother with the change at all.. or you could shell out some extra cash for some high flow cats and just get the headers and have a shop figure out the rest.

    If you are gonna keep the cats or get high flows DO NOT GET Pacesetters they won't fit unless you are 2 wheel drive and go true duals then I am uncertain if they will fit. Stainless works i think makes a set with cats or some company does, they look good too. I had a custom y built and it did not turn out at all like I wanted it to. It is going to get redone soon. It sounds really good with no cats and 2 aerochamber 3 " mufflers with 2.5" pipes from the headers to the mufflers. Without the cats it is just 2 load for me.

    The headers will be for sale soon. I have some people that are interested and have first shot at them once they are removed then if no one takes them I will post them here.

    I was looking at the set from texas speed and performance. The headers and the ory for 400 something. But i like the sound of your truck.

    if you live in a emissions county its not legal. If you live in the sticks where they don't do a sniffer or OBDII test on your vehicle you can get away with it easily.

    If your current inspection sticker says something about emissions on it then you are supposed to have cats on the truck. Some places don't do the visual check but if they do you'll fail. Normally they just plug into the dash and check for OBDII codes, check the gas cap for leaks and then do the safety check.
