AEM Long Tube Headers...

I want to go buy some headers TODAY...however, I went to their site and didnt find anything for the 6.0 Yukon.... =(

who has what and who saw the most low end TQ?

tybardy · Aug 10, 2009

google search around, you can find the AEM LT's I am almost positive of it. I have heard many good things about the AEM setup... i am not sure they make an ORY for it though so you will need to have some custom exhaust fab work done IIRC.

Max might chime in here, if not you might want to send him a PM. He has a set of AEM headers on his 6.0

Im not too worried about the ORY....I dont run one

Mine has an X pipe...it never becomes one shared pipe...its two separate pipes from the exhaust manifold to the tips

No one else is running LTs on their 6.0?

tybardy · Aug 10, 2009

yea tru dual shoud save you some money at the exhaust shop. Still think your gonna need the tubes re-routed...

If you are having trouble finding 6.0s with LTs, check out PerformanceTrucks.net there are lots and lots of chevy's over there with 6.0s + LTs

another couple weeks and JK should have a 6.0 w/ LTs

contact blueflamed03 he had a set he was selling for $450 but that was a couple weeks ago and I don't know what happened to them.

I believe that all the manifolds are the same for the 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0 so any headers should fit. It's the ory that makes the difference......Correct me if I'm wrong!

Blueflamed sold his...Check out LP Performance headers. I know they make a set that fits 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 for all Chevy style trucks. May want to send them a E-Mail and see if their headers will fit your truck...

i will chime in again and say that I plan to go with the LPP's, they look (in pictures) like a nice product and they are at a great price. I am still curious about the quality in person though and wish someone would buy some and install them.

Nickleahy23 · Aug 10, 2009

from what ive heard and seen the LPP headers are top notch..they were on sale for $450 shipped for headers and ORY, which is a great deal..i wish i woulda been able to pick some up for the 6.0

Max · Aug 10, 2009

AEM doesn't sell them directly, you can find some on amazon or pt.net. I'd look at the lpp or stainless works but make sure the y-pipe is for your 6.0, our exhaust is different than the 4.8/5.3 longtube y-pipes

Dynatech makes a badass system but it's pricey, think $1300 or so with high flow cats. I think some people were doing a group buy on stainless works stuff over at performancetrucks.net, may want to check them out. I was able to ninja mine for a really good deal thanks to Justin and Jenna :cheers:

BlizzardX23 · Aug 10, 2009

Now Im wondering what the difference is between the headers...the AEMs, the Dynatech, and LPP

I know a lot has to do with brand name..but is there a big difference in performance between $500 LTs vs $1100 LTs?

tybardy · Aug 10, 2009

again... some more uneducated .02 from the guy who always has an opinion.

in almost any purchase a human can make, the most expensive is usually a waste of money and the cheapest is usually "worth the money"

(by worth the money i mean you get what you pay for)

often times it is wise to shop smart and do homework personally. I am not sure how these rules apply to LT's. But again, I plan to buy the LPP's w/ ORY... so we will see.

JKmotorsports · Aug 10, 2009

A lot of the difference in price will depend on the material, finish, and quality of the part. Cheaper headers will usually have thinner flanges and simply just painted black. Higher priced quality headers will thicker flanges and a better finish or coating. They will usually perform the same in terms of gains, but the longevity is what will be vastly different.

jomulk56 · Aug 10, 2009

+1 on what JK said. Ceramic coated headers can get expensive, but worth it for longevity of them and heat dispersion (sp). Anyways, my n00b question of the day.....what's ORY mean? Is it off-road Y-pipe?

JennaBear · Aug 11, 2009

If I don't get AEMs as our next set, I will probably go for Dynatechs. We are currently looking at Kooks for the TBSS as well.

Yep. ORY - Off Road Y-pipe

BlizzardX23 · Aug 11, 2009

as for looks, Im not too worried...I'll get the cheapest set I can when it comes to looks, because Im just gonna wrap them with tape anyways....I know theres not much benefit..(maybe a slight underhood temp)...I just like the way the look wrapped...so I wont need anything fancy looking...

whoa...$1,400 for Dynatech???
....they arent even california legal Im sure... =(

Max · Aug 11, 2009

They're cali legal with the high flow cats.

You have got to pay to play! If you are worried about money, then just get ones that are within your price range.

X2

The only LTs that are CA legal, I believe the Bassani mids are legal too.
