Hey guys, my bro has a 96 z28 Lt1 no mods except for borla mufler, he wanted me to ask u guys your opinions on 3 best choices for headers and cat back systems..any advice would be appreciated. Thx.

95 Z28 LT1, Edelbrock headers w/ Full exhaust, cold air intake, TCI 1800 stall convertor, shift kit, Eibach springs, KYB shocks -
What, if any, emissions standards does he have to meet? Tailpipe? ALDL connect? Visual?
That will determine what will work, ranging from OBD-II dual-cat CARB-certified headers (only a couple brands available), midlengths (e.g. - AS&M) or full long-tubes (PaceSetter, Hooker, JetHot, etc).
After emissions, its a matter of what kind of HP levels is he looking for in the long term, and how is the car used - street or strip?Fred
381ci all-forged stroker - 10.8:1 - CNC LT4 heads/intake - CC solid roller - MoTeC engine management - 8 LS1 coils - 58mm TB - 78# injectors - 300-shot dry nitrous - TH400 - Gear Vendor O/D - Strange 12-bolt - 4.11's - AS&M headers - duals - Corbeau seat - AutoMeter gauges - roll bar - Spohn suspension - QA1 shocks - a few other odds 'n ends. 800HP/800lb-ft at the flywheel, on a 300-shot. 11.5 @ 117MPH straight motor -
He basicly wants to meet all the emissions as he has now,(on his stock manifolds) and basicly keep the same pipe set up, he does have duel cats but he doesnt want to move anything around, for the most part remove old pipes and headers and reinstall new bigger pipes, following the same pattern as the stock pipes. He doesnt really race it, just gets on it here and there but he wants a good quality set up...95 Z28 LT1, Edelbrock headers w/ Full exhaust, cold air intake, TCI 1800 stall convertor, shift kit, Eibach springs, KYB shocksComment

Then your only legal choice is going to be either SLP Shorties, or Edelbrocks. You can buy the Random Tech Y-Pipe (also legal) to go with the SLP Headers. This is a great set up that will perform well and become part of a complete exhaust system.1996 Arctic White Z28, A4, K&N CAI, TByrne MAF ends, BBK Twin-52mm TB, TB Bypass, SLP 1 3/4" Shorties, Richmond 3.42's, Dynomax Bullet Muffler W/Turn Down, BMR Adj.
