Intake or Headers?

[DeadLifter]

Gonna start moddin the SS a little. What should I go with 1st headers or LS6 intake.

[Corey1987]

i have yet to change my intake to the ls6 one but i LOVE my headers, the way they sound plus the performance increase.

[Anthracis]

Go with both!!

But if you have to...I guess HEADERS!!!

[urstolendesire]

same here, i dont know if i really want to get into all the emissions crap as far as headers go though...theres the 4 o2 sensors plus cats?

[Anthracis]

Well, if you chicken shit your way through it, you could go with shorty headers (e.g.-JBA 1807). Its before cats only. and has provisions for all emissions eqpt.

Just a thought. I am from the people's republic of California...we have the SMOG nazis. I had to run that setup myself.

My car is lowered, would i have trouble with clearance on long tubes?

[Corey1987]

wouldnt u have emissions bullshit to deal with also with the ls6 intake?(EGR shit)

[Anthracis]

Yes, but the LS6 intake has egr provisions that allow you to run the stock setup.

Also, there are 2 types of LS6 intakes out there. One allows you to run the EGR stuff (more expensive of the two), the other eliminates it altogether thus rendering it emissions ILLEGAL.

Then you have the FAST LSX 78mm or 90mm option which is the best in my opinion but overpriced unless you are running NX, Turbo(s), or SC.

Anyways, the emissions stuff SUCK

forgot Heads/Cam...

im saving for a FAST 90/90 as we speak. my Ls6 intake doesn't even have 400 miles on it as it sits (bought it brand new)...

btw, to answer the guys question, go headers first. get rid of the gases you already create. you will see more gains from doing headers first than an intake, so in other words it would be money well spent...

[Anthracis]

This would have been useful info for me yesterday...D'OH!

I just bought one from Maryland Speed!

SSwt00SS, dont u want to sell me ur ls6 intake after u get ur fast intake for super cheap???????

Agreed

sorry man somebody already has dibs for both my cam and intake...

[7camaro7]

get headers

[firesilver]

Yeah I would go with headers and then ls6, headers will probley be more fun since youll be able to here them.

[DeadLifter]

I found a good deal on a intake plus Lingenfelter has a kit where I don't have to ditch the EGR.
So I'm leanin toward that right now.
I'll do both sooner or later anyway, I'm not really worried about makin it much louder just faster.

headers will make it faster than an intake would, the awesome exhaust tone you will get from headers is the added bonus...

[DeadLifter]

I will eventually get both, but I can get the manifold cheaper and it won't be near the pain to install.
