Default Shorty Headers

I have looked and have not been able to find a shorty header that has a 3" collector. I would like a 3" exhaust but, a long tube is out of the question. I don't want anything that is going to scrub the ground.
Anybody know of shorty header with 3" collectors?

Here we go, the last time you responded to one of my threads I had my manual transmission apart because of how it easy it was to do.

Now you are going to talk me into long tube headers.

manual trannies/t-5's are easy, if it wasn't for you then it's not my fault you were lacking the tech experience to tackle such a task, and you won't find a shorty header with 3 inch collector unless you had one custom built, YCYMYP.

Well, I guess i will look into it. It would be nice to have the power gain of a long tube header.

It is hard to do after being quoted 650 for the ceramic shorties all the way to the tailpipes.
If i find a used set for the same price, I don't guess thee is any reason not to do it.
thanks

Why do you want a 3 inch exhaust any ways? You better be running one hell of an engine like 500 hp plus.

Edit: So your only mods are air silencer removed lol, I dont think that is going to have the effect of needing 3 inch exhaust lmao.

3" is overkill. 2.5" is plenty.

I concur. You'll most likely end up losing power rather than gaining any.

As of now it has 42lb injectors and a kenne bell with a 6lb pulley. I thought one day I may get crazy and put a good set of heads on it and a larger pulley. I just don't want to restrict myself later on down the road. I doubt the car will ever make 500hp but, with those mods it could break four. . . so you think 3" is overkill?
