Do these headers utilize the catalytic converter or does it do away with it?Originally posted by redbird94

Its a good idea to match the headers to motor work. In stock trim 1 5/8 are fine. I have that size in JBA's. Because I plan on doing motor work (head/cam/intake) I will need to bet larger ones. I say this to give you food for thought.
Things to look for are thick flanges and for sure get them coated. The ones you show look good. Also look at SLP, AS&M, JBA's97 TA, M6, JBA ceramic coated headers, Borla Cat-back exhaust, 1.6 RR, 160 Thermo, LT4 knock sensor, CAI, Bils, Hotchkis all around, GT rotors, B&M shifter, Magnecor wires, Granatelli MAF

i like the jet hot longtubes. they are 499 jsut for the headers though. they are the hooker stlye header and for a hooker y-pipe it is like 149 just for that. so that is 625 plus like 50 dollars shiiping to my house, that is too much for me.
who has pacesetter headers here?
what about these rk sport headers? they said they are mids
what about these1994 firebird formula

The RK sport headers are a clone of the AS&M headers. A mid-length design with 1 3/4 inch primaries.
For the amount of headaches it will take to install I would not want to bother with a 1 5/8 primary header if you plan on other motor work later.
It does surprise me that they are 1 5/8 primaries. I always assumed the long tubes were all larger primaries. Goes to show you to check the details.

I've heard a lot about BBK, and I can't remember anything good. I don't know about the quality of the RK sports but if they clone the AS&M's they should flow real well.

see if i had the money i would get the jet long tubes for 499 and then get a hooker y-pipe for 149. thats a 650 dollar combo.
heres what i have broke it down to
jethot long tubes with hooker y-pipe- 650
rk sport header midlenght and y-pipe-490
bbk and y-pipe midlegnth is 479
pacesetter long tubes with y-pipe is 529
now i know i can get better prices on ebay. the 650 is a little much for me. if you guys had to choose which one out of the last 4?1994 firebird formula

94-95 style mac mids. Don't listen to the 1 3/4 argument. The 1 3/4's might be a little better for huge HP applications, but there are a lot of people running 10's with that header. I would go with a midlength header too. LT's will scrape, shorty's suck. I like the design of the MAC's. Easy to install, and easy to change out plugs and wires. The as&m's will make plugs/wires a weekend project.97 Chevy 'Raro Z28 M6- Ported & Polished LT1 heads,beehives,1.6/1.94 valves, 226/231 custom cam,K&N FIPK, 94-95 BBK shorty's,ORY,Magnaflow Catback,no cats,BMR LCA Relocation Brackets,Lower Control Arms,Adjustable Panhard Bar,Eibach Pro Kit,SPEC Stage 1,Walbro 255 Fuel Pump,30LB Injectors,Pro 5.0,Short stick,MSD 8.5's,NGK TR55's,LT4KM
