Hahaha, my emission test isn't due for another 1 1/2 years, i'll add a CAT by then.

 

No emissions tests in Wisconsin so I'm fine

 

lucky shops wont even do custom exhaust here.

 

Thanks for the info it really helped!! About how long does it take to install headers? I heard it could take up to 12 hrs ?

 

if I understand correctly the speed daddy headers come with a downpipe with no cat...

I'm looking at TOG extream headers; (which don't come with a down pipe)

ZZ performance has a TOG style bolt in for $220
ZZPerformance - TOG Style Bolt In Downpipe #ZZ-TOG

The Wbody store has a downpipe for TOG only headers for $190 here:
3" Downpipe for TOG headers

Maybe the two that I mentioned above are the same thing?? (they sure look pretty close)

The 3rd one that I found looks like it's for stock manifolds and not headers?
Random Technology 3" Downpipe/Hi-Flow Cat: 3800 Performance

$460 + an extra $15 for 3" What's so great about this one???

 

I have the Speed Daddy's. No cat. There's not a need for a down pipe, as they include everything to bolt up to the exhaust.

 

Speed daddy headers are great. Except their gaskets lol

 

Very good point! lol.. I cleaned up my original gaskets and re-used them. The Speed Daddy gaskets looked like a fail lol..

Other than that, I think they're a great, affordable option for headers. They're stainless, and eliminate the need for a downpipe. However, if you have emissions testing or inspections, you'll probably need to purchase a cat and have it welded in place or do it yourself

 

Yea i learned the hard way lol they worked for about 2 months then blew them out lol
