If you have a jack, jack stands and a socket set you can install them yourself.

 

i will say this...if you want them now and are going supercharger later...just buy them now and then start saving for the blower. i mean as long as you have the money not taking it from the blower fund, buy them now and then start the blower fund.

 

I have enough for a blower, but I don't have a jobn (currently in college) so I will be broke. I don't want to spend that money right now.

Ask for the install, I think I can have my buddy help me out. This will save quite a lot of money I think.

I was looking at BBK (ceramic or chrome, whats the difference?) LTs and the catted h-pipe. I must have cats, I want to be legal.

Also, is it alright to interchange brands? Say pypes LT, BBK h-pipe and SLP catback? I don't want want leaks.

Thanks for your help guys!

 

I have mac longtubes, CAM o/r H and SLP catback. Not all are interchangeable you will have to do your research.

 

Do not buy an SLP shorty midpipe if u dont have slp headers.. i leanred the hard way lol

 

I'm still running shorty's and a catted midpipe, seems to do fine for me (I know it's holding me back a wee bit, but not by much), and it really helps not make my ears bleed when I drive the car, or get any more attention from the po-po.

If your going with a blower in the future, I still don't think it's necessary, especially if your going with a centrifical unit. with a centri blower, the powerband is already high enough, staying catted with shorties or stock manifolds will help at least retain some of the low end torque, even if it does hamper performance slightly.

EDIT: and make sure you don't go chrome, it's just more weight to look slightly prettier, I didn't even know you could chrome plate headers.

 

Chrome headers will rainbow.

 

ceramic coating keeps heat in the engine bay down which will help with performance and rust. i would go with bbk ceramic coated, catted x pipe, and whatever catback. but you will be fine with what your listing. just get the ceramic coated ones.

 

If you're running LT's you're going to be hardpressed to be "legal". LT's will relocate your forward O2 sensors which are not legal in most states.

If you want to be "legal" than you have to run shorty headers and cat back system.

If you decide to go LT, MAC usually has some sort of special going on. I got both the MAC Ceramic Coated LT's/Prochamber Mid for $500 and change.

yeah you should be able to install them yourself. I dont think its really talent to put them in but it takes forever and is a pita but much better than paying a shop imo.
