Headers and Exhaust

[BlueMeanie]

I want to do headers but have no idead where to get them or which ones to get...i see people posting about OBX and Pacesetters and so many differnet kinds. what i want is great performance out of the headers and i want a deep growl sound. i will be putting flowmaster 50's on them and want to do true duals. DO i need the Y pipe if i do true duals??

For true duals, run an X or an H pipe. We sell and use Doug Thorleys, but would also recommend Bassani, Dynatechs or AEMs.

Depends on your year.

Depends on your year.

i have a 2001 with a 5.3L

 

[JennaBear]

Yes, you have it.

 

[BlueMeanie]

a couple more questions

1. should i do X pipes or H pipes since i will be doing true duals??
2. should i get the exhaust system??
3. does anyone know of a good shop in DC that can do the install???

 

[BlueMeanie]

Set up question

should i put the exhast right up against the x-pipe or extend them back some??

I have the dyna techs and love them no issues

I have LPP's. theyre pretty good, stainless steel and TIG welded. i had some fitment issues, but maybe it was my particular tahoe's and not the headers' fault. I wanted AEM when i was looking, but theyre hard to find. i had to ding mine pretty good to get them to fit before my dumb ass thought about getting a custom steering shaft (which i have now), so maybe one day if i can get a set of AEM's for a good price I'll swap, but i dont know if it'll have any performance influence.

Final Idea

Here is what I think i am going to go with

Doug Thorley headers they have a 2.5" outlet i will put an expander to 3" and then run 3" cat back to flowmaster 50's with 3" in/out and 3" tips

what do you guys think???
