ceramic coated so no rust on that issue, but what about keeping this emissions legal with the EGR?
410 bucks shipped isn't to bad ehh? I hate how some sites say itll fit and others dont. wtf.. well im thinking about placing the order tonite or tomorrow if all goes well :Handshake:

Sweet, Hope they work out for ya, install isnt the funnest.

Glad to see your getting the coated ones.

Do you have E-check? If not just delete the EGR., if not i think youl need a " bung" welded onto your headers so you can hook up your EGR.

Edel brock makes some Emissions Legal headers.

I talked to the guy at TBI Chips .com and he reccomended some stainless long tubes from Ebay that were cheap, said they work great . check out his site to get the link.

Cool,

Yeah shorties arent worth it IMO.

You going to run true 2.5'' off the headers ?

Single or Dual exit?

im going for the hidden look of the exhaust. Im not sure if i want an x or h pipe or nothing at all right now. But im going to keep it 2 1/2 and dump both of them either right in front of the rear tires or right before the axle, which ever is easiest and out of the way. lol a side pipe would be bad ass as long as my ground effect will cover it so you cant see it.

I tried to put a set of those on my kids 89' Chevy 2wd standard cab... The fit was terrible, collectors ended up about 2 1/2" from the trans crossmember and one of the tubes was VERY close to the oil filter. I ended up getting the coated flowtech headers (mid length) and they are great. The cost was much cheaper too.

I don't know if they are still in business, but I have "The other guys" brand headers on my Yukon and absolutely love them ! They were 950 bucks, but they are perfect!

These fit without a problem on my 4wd 99 2dr even though they were designed for the pre-vortec trucks. Only thing I did was added an egr bung, o2 bungs and air injection fittings (cali smog stuff).

These slipped in from the top with some maneuvering.

I can't really tell you if they helped or not. I did a couple of things at once. Another thing was I went from JBA shorties to LTs. One thing is for sure was the exhaust got louder.

yea ill deff need one after all this huh? itll probably be one of the last motor mods until i get a crate or something. i found another supercharger, autorotor on ebay if you wanna check it out. its super cheap and needs a chip anyways. ill probably rebuild it if i end up snagging it. he wants 500 shipped outside of ebay.. idk about that much money, but if its under that ill bid on it.

Yeah, I talked to Ed, over at FastChip, the general performance chip will do fine, it is only $159.

Custom chip if you do heavy mods: cam, heads, charger, etc. Those run $300

I am thinking of getting the standard chip if I have cash laying around. Hopefully I start working in February again, which means enough money that I don't know what to do with.

Have you ever looked up TBIchips.com with brian? ive heard a lot of good things threw him. i wonder which ones better, i thought all of his chips were custom tuned and such.

Ive read up on making your own chip before, but damn, iget lost. lots of shit to download and what not
