I saw an 06 Monte (Dale Earnhardt edition) at the Nats with ceramic headers on it from the factory (I believe)

I am interested in dressing up the Deuce's engine with good quality ceramic headers (Inside and outside ceramic) can anyone suggest a brand that will fit an 06 Monte SS with out any modifications?

Thanks!

 

Thorley has been manufacturing high quality headers for decades. I'd have a look at what they have to offer.

 

Mike I had looked at them here:

Doug Thorley Headers

They offer only the "Shortie" version for the 06 Monte SS silver ceramic (I like)

Now, it comes with the Y pipe, will I need to change out the CAT??? Also is this a good price at $689?

thanks Mike

 

that is our only option unfortunately right now. rumor has it Calspeed has LS4 headers in the making but they probably wont be ceramic. I have been wanting a set of thorleys for awhile now but cant bring myself to spend the money on them.

you will have to have a shop weld the headers to the downpipe is my understanding. a little cutting will be required by the cat.

 

I really want the Thorleys with the ceramic silver.

In doing some searching, it seams installation is a tad more that I can handle in my garage. I talked to my Mechanic friend and he said to get them in right and welded for show quality I would need to go to a performance shop to get it done right. I am searching for such a shop in the Lansing area. I suspect installation will run $500 bucks




they look so much better than our stock exhaust manifolds

 

yes and sound much better. mechanics get 8hrs of labor for stock manifolds I asked the guys next door to my shop and that doesnt count if a bolt breaks off and all that. so I am not so sure about if the cost is worth the end result

 

Thanks Shocker and Mike ... Thorleys installed by someone that knows what they are doing just need to find a good performance shop in the area now

 

Here's what it say's on web site about 2006 Monte Calo..
Fitment Level

Here it is - the item you want, and it's made specifically to fit your vehicle. This part is designed, built and tested to fit perfectly right out of the box. So forget the headaches of trimming, hacking and modding - all you have to do is install and admire. Get ready to love it.

 

Sounds like the man has a plan - Looking forward to seeing Lil Deuce in all her glory.
