Headers/ypipe question

[Kingmarchil]

Hello all i have a '16 yukon denali with magnaflow 3.5" catback and volant CAI 380 rwhp atm wanting to push over 400+ rwhp

Im looking to install kooks headers (28602401) and catted ypipes (28613200) but i want to know will it fit or the 8speed ypipe has different placement?

And when i search for headers they're mostly for silverado/sierra.. are all trucks and suv 6 or 8 speed the same down under and all ypipes fit?

 

[Kingmarchil]

Anyone?

Can you get the ARH for a 5.3L?

Are there any gains with a header and a y pipe and a stock exhaust? Do you need a tune after a header install?

The new gen exhaust manifold are high flow and will not net that much hp, the real restriction lies in the ypipe which is where you get the most hp gains but since you'll upgrade to an aftermarket ypipe might aswell get the headers

Ive seen 20-25 rwhp gains with headers+ypipe.

And yes you need the tune, otherwise your car will run rich and get worse mpg and possibly less hp than stock.

i gained a solid 25-30 rwhp on my escalade with the headers. no cats.

i have the full magnaflow 3.5 cat back also

Were these gains with or without the whipple?

 

[NORCAL SS]

naturally asperated look 20 rwhp to 25 rwhp.

20-25rwhp for headers/y-pipe seems to be pretty normal. I remember picking up 15-20 rwhp with shorties and around 30 with long tubes on my f-bodies.

How much of a gain would you see with a y-pipe though, if it is the restrictive part of the exhaust?

Getting rid of cats like 10 to 12

Just getting rid of the cats in general will yield hp(better flow), but he said the y-pipe was restrictive. Is it crimped, flattened, not mandrel bent?

 

[NORCAL SS]

if you can have a shop do a 3 inch y pipe and mate it to a cat back exhaust that will flow very well.

Its flattened to not hang lower than the underbody, take a look under your car and you'll 100% understand.

Tony, what does a ARE setup cost?

 

[NORCAL SS]

The 6.2 y pipe fits the 5.3 and is bigger exit.

 

[2016YUKONSLT]

How much does ARE headers and ypipe kit cost for 5.3l 2016 yukon?

 

[NORCAL SS]

Do American racing headers no cats. Period
