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.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
