Well, Tony hasn't been doing anything with his Tahoe so we had to find SOMETHING to talk about.

Damn - I did not work for Fisher. I worked for Henderson Mfg out of Iowa.

being where your from im sure thats a beast of what ever equipment your building.

we have mainly fisher/western, im pretty sure the same co now. meyers, the worst of em all, then boss, witch is actually a cool blade it has hydro pressure down for real scraping power, but the fisher is the only one with a fixed blade that wont fold down, its got a trip blade on the bottom. it scrapes and stacks well.

how is it that speed engineering's lt headers for a 5th gen camaro are only 300?

Is that for just one side? lol

lol its for the pair. you'd be amazed how many people use em for the 5 th gen camaros. the fb pages love em.

i went the other way, kooks with high flow cats, 1500.00, ouch, but should literally last for ever.

Kooks are works of art in person, even on the inside the welds look awesome and the collectors are smooth.

I may one day upgrade to a decent set

Henderson didn't building anything for stuff smaller than maybe a F550. Most of there stuff is for Class 7 and Class 8 City, County, State trucks. Don't know much about the smaller plows for the 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton trucks.

So are the AR longtubes I’m running on my 02 Denali. Plus the way they fit is a big plus.

Hey Tony how much snow you got now? Time for updated pics.

Oh yeah AR is super nice! I haven't ever compared the 2 side by side. Heck, a set of both is worth more than half of what my truck is worth.

They’re real close to the same as far as I could tell. I had a new set of Kooks for my 08 Silverado that I bought off a different forum but I would have had to hack them up to fit since it’s bagged and bodied with the engine lowered in the frame for hood clearance. There was no way I was gonna cut them up so I resold them. Looked just like my AR’s.

There's only so many ways to make pipes fit I guess. I bet the whipple enjoys the good flow.

Yeah, the Silvy has a complete custom frame from the front control arms back. It’s 2 x 4 so the body can lay on the ground without cutting the floor up but there’s not much room for exhaust. I’m thinking of buying some cheap headers and seeing what can be done. I’d be willing to risk the $300.

You get what you pay for. If you can afford better--get a different set, if not Speed Engineering will fit the bill. The fit might suck--depending on who made them that day.

 

[Tonyrodz]

Probably about 8" total, but the temp has been above freezing so it's been melting pretty decently. Stopped snowing last night. My son in Pa, said it was still snowing today. I bet he got close to 2'!

I think what he was saying is that ad you said is cheap at $450 isn’t cheap- I see Speed Engineering headers on eBay for the NBS Tahoe/ Silverado going for $300 shipped all the time.

Ah, I misread. Wish I would've saw that ad--or not. Think I paid $700 with ****** header bolts and lousy gaskets. I'm actually over Speed Engineering!

Yeah but you’re talking about with the y-pipe, right? That ad you posted was just the headers themselves. I see their headers with y-pipe for around $420. But you didn’t get any deal for $700 that’s for sure.
