Do you have to have or need headers tomorrow?? Probably not... so just save your coin and buy premium headers like American Racing Headers, Kooks, Stainless works.

Texas Speed headers are stainless and the quality is awesome for the price. And they will make the same power as Kooks, or any of the other big name brands.

Pacesetters are good headers for the price but will eventually rust, even with ceramic coating.

Dont forget, shiny stainless changes colors after it has been heated. I like it, though some may not

I have a set of Doug Thorley shorty headers on my truck, but they also make long tubes. Very good quality.

I know headers will make things flow much better and increase sound, but is there much difference in sound between 1 3/4 and 1 7/8? Also say I went with something like Texas Speed, do you guys know somewhere to purchase the Hi-Flow cats separately?

Will be no sound difference between the two. You can purchase the Texas Speed headers with Hi-Flow cats or Magnaflow and many others sell hi-flow cats.

Thanks, I see that now. Upon first inspection I didn't see Hi-Flow cats offered with TSP. Once you click the link for it, you can select them.

Also from what I can tell, the only difference between running cats or Y-pipe is the cats cut back on the rasp correct? Is there much of any performance difference between running cats over Y or vise versa?

The rasp has more to do with the tune believe it or not.

 

And the difference is minimal in power if you get good high flow cats. Other then that... Girly men have cats and manly men have an ORY..... Just sayin lol

Haha I gotchya. So say I originally go with the ORY and decide I want cats down the road, is everything downstream of the headers bolt on? Meaning would it be easy so swap out an ORY for cats?

Kooks or American Racing Headers have bolt on options....you can get the ORY and then just buy the catted Y seperat and swap them out.

 

I know for sure these 2 do because i have seen it... Not sure about Stainless Works but im sure they do as well.

 

Pasesetter i don't think they even offer a Y with the kit. Save up and spend the money to get a good set. Any if the big 3 you cant go wrong. Kooks, stainless works or like i did American Racing.

I gotchya. You have any vids of your setup? Been scouring YouTube but haven't really found the right one that sounds the way I want.

 

Want it to sound good, but not be obnoxious.

I hear you!! Hehe pun.....

 

I have not installed them yet as i am having a hard time decuding what setup to run. I may just say screw it and get magnaflow catback.

 

I have the 1 7/8 American Racing with the ORY. They are just sitting at home back in Texas waiting for me when i get off work for a brake in between projects.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
