Does anyone know which longtube set up gives the most power? Bassani, Hooker, JBA?

 

try all 3 and let us know

 

Couldn't tell you........ I do know though that I've seen cars with very similar mods to me but they have Mac longtubes and they aren't making anymore peak power than I am, on the same dyno on the same day. I haven't seen a graph to compare the powerband so maybe there's more power with them elsewhere besides peak, but none the less I haven't been impressed with the Mac headers.

Don't forget about the SLP headers- I've heard good things about those.

 

That might be a little expensive LOL! My recommendation for a non-supercharged engine would be to use 1 5/8" primaries but if you plan to modifly heavily I'd get 1 3/4" yubes to start. Between the brands they are pretty much equal in terms of power.

 

I have to agree with RPM

 

Tom- got any clips of sn197s with full slp exhaust?!?

 

Are we talking cats or no cats? I'm shopping for LTs also but want to stay wioth cats.

 

Nope- I imagine it would be INSANELY LOUD. Some of the members in this thread are close to full SLP: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=57328

Tom

 

I'm looking no cats by the way. So I'm gonna have Some kind of longtubes + offroad x pipe and magnapacks. Loud = very yes.

 

go with american racing long tubes.

 

If you want to stay naturally aspirated who are your choices for the 1 5/8 tube headers. Every body seems to be 1 3/4.
Scott P.S. I want stainless headers that are 1 5/8.

 

My vote too, or Kooks.

 

AR has 1 5/8" headers, thats what i have. kooks and american racing are pretty much the two best headers for this car. with the 1 3/4" you will prob lose power if your n/a.

 

What about Hooker Supercomp LT's?

 

I'm on nitrous so that's not really n/a. Looking around I seem to find that everyone has 1 5/8 headers. bassani, jba, maybe hooker too.

 

So will l/ts void your factory warranty?

If they are paired with a Catted mid pipe will you be able to pass the sniff test, but just not the visual?

 

Just get some friends in the inspection business. It works wonders.

 

haha Im trying, but most older people don't give any 18 year olds the time of day
