headers or what ?

[skar]

I now have a 99SS 33k miles on it . It is a m6 with a slp loudmouth and slp air box / lid K&n filter. I am thinking about some mods. The car will be a nice day cruiser only. What mods ? headers with or with out the cats. And what brand is good . I only what to do this once. (sst or coated) Also some guy at slp said i should get a new intake (ls6 I think) and new mass air ?
What is the most bang for the buck. This will be a saturday night cruser.
thanks

get coated pacesetter headers with an orp.
total is about 500 bucks. youll gain about 25 rwhp.

MAF, you don't need one until you are pushing more power. LS6 intake, it will make a noticable difference, but if you only want to do it once, I would buy the FAST intake, for headers sake, I would get them coated for sure. Pacesetters are more affordable, but I have always been a fan of Hooker, that is what I have now and I have no complaints. I have about 25,000 trouble free miles on them. They are not that expensive either. As for cats or no cats, that is tricky, I have no cats but you have to find someone that will remove them since it is illegal, plus there is not that much power being lost with haveing cats. I had stock cats, then high flow cats, and finally no cats and I did not notice one differece between the three set ups in power.

Have they corrected that banging issue that a lot of LS1 owners were having with Pacesetters?

how is the ground clearance with these hedders
my brother has a 1999 Z-28 and we are looking for a set of longtubes
he has the Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs
would he have ground clearance issues with the Pacesetters

i have a pro kit but i havent put it on because i already scrape on sxome bad angles.... with the prokit and the pacesetters i wouldn't go over any speed/big bumps or hit any big-medium holes in the road

I would go with Hooker thats what i got on my car, pacesetters are good headers, but alot of people have trouble with them hitting the floor board; of course your going to get what you pay for. You dont real need an intake if your going to keep it as a cruzier and not a race car.

[nhraformula]

if youre worried about clearance, get mac headers. they tuck up nicely

I agree with the Hooker's. I just installed some about a month ago and they fit perfectly, not scraping on the ground and not hitting the floorboard :D

[nhraformula]

my pacesetters have never bottomed out.

[brad8266]

My pacesetters are nice, no scraping and not too bad an install.

[skar]

? how about jet hot.

[Liquifire]

Hooker Headers, LS6 intake, Shaner Throttle body, go without cats if you can and get a professional tune..............and start saving for a twelve bolt

I love my headers (QTP, not cheap). Cheap insurance against Y-pipe bangs: Poly motor mounts; install them when you install the headers. No downside to poly motor mounts, IMO.

[silver98camss]

my suggestion is Kooks headers and y-pipe with cats. They tuck up really nicely, they are easy to install, they are availible in stainless so they will never rust, they are just about the best on the market. I wouldn't cheap it out unless you want to replace them in a few yrs. with anything coated once it chips its all over, they will rust. JMO

[Prophecy]

Jet hot headers are hooked with a coating and i belive a different collector.
