Thanks for the info. I have the same catback and love it, and will soon be doing the catted ARH setup just like yours.

If you get a chance to post up some sound clips or video that would be great. Good luck on the install.

That is a good price for the ARH setup. Good luck with it.

That's a good lookin Beagle. I have 2 myself.

Very nice! I just don't understand why they don't polish them?

**Black02LS1** · 02-25-2008, 07:33 PM

What kind of headers are those? Also what are those after the headers, they look like they could pass as cats to a dumb cop? Also, did the headers and Y-pipe come welded together?

American racing headers, and its high flow cats behind the header. No,the y-pipe is seperate from the headers. It comes with band clamps to connect all the exhaust, so no welding is needed.

They would look better polished, but I'm still happy with the workmanship.

Should I use ARH header gasket or reuse the factory one?

**ss~zoso~ss** · 02-26-2008, 06:01 PM

buy origonal GM factory gaskets, they're metal

i used em and they're great

that was also the general consensus when i researched headers

The ARH gaskets are metal too. How much are oem gaskets?

I'm with ss-zoso get some gm gaskets. They are around $20-25 and you have the peace of mind knowing that they won't leak. I'm installing my ARH LT's in a few weeks and I'm using new GM gaskets.

$25 for gaskets are cheap, maybe I'll get some.

Has anyone installed headers on a LT1 and a LS1 car? I've done it on my 93 T/A.....Is it harder on an LS1?

**myss984** · 02-28-2008, 03:27 AM

Are these the same gaskets for factory manifolds?

yes sir! So if your car is low miles and the gaskets look good you can reuse the factory ones. But for only $25 why not get new ones.

**SS-Power** · 02-28-2008, 01:58 PM

I ordered gm gaskets and what a big difference. I only paid $19 with my discount at work. Here are some pics of the gm gasket and the ones that came with the headers.Top gaskets are gm.
