there is a muffler shop in my area that is going to bive me a good deal on bbk ceramic coated long tube headers. the total price with install included is $825, i read different opinions on shorties, but what is the concensus on LT headers. if it's not going to get me atleast 15whp, i will just go nitrous. also i have pypes o/r x pipes and pypes violators, will that be too free flowing for the LT's and not have enough backpressure, and reduce HP?

 

If your not going to do longtubes then go nitrous. Nitrous will get you more hp them longtubes also thoe.

 

Nitrous will give you more bang for your buck, nitrous,colder plug's and a tune with a 75 or 100 shot.

 

basically, if the long tubes are not going to give me atleast 15whp i am not going to get it. i'm afraid of the backpressure being to low as well. i know nitrous is more bang for the buck, but i used to use nitrous and i hate refilling it.

 

Use 1 5/8"

 

i got BBK LT's and BBK o/r x pipe, and together they get about 20 rwhp. but if you already got your x pipe hooked up to your stock manifolds, your gonna need another midpipe to fit to the LT's bc the midpipe fitment is different for LT's. but if your x pipe is for LT's then forget what i just said.

 

is the 20 whp you got off your butt dyno or did you actually get it dyno'ed?

 

i did get it dyno'd, stock was 255, w/ exhaust was 276, w/ JLT 301.

 

I would do the headers.

 

cool if you did dyno it i think i will get the headers, was your 276 with a cai and tune? I don't want to spend near a 1000 to get like only like 15 or lower hp. anybody else have dyno proven power with LT's?
