Straight Pipe... What do people need to know?

[Cameron23]

Here is what the stock manifold looks like with the integrated cats. You'll need to either buy or fabricate some light eliminators for your 02 sensors if you don't want to have codes. All that the light eliminators consist of are a simple tube that pulls the 02 sensor out of the stream. Also when it comes to gains remember, it doesn't necissarily help if you can breathe out well, if you can't breathe in first! So make sure you are doing things to the front side to compliment the back side.

Oh yes, forgot to mention that I used O2 cheaters. The heatshield bolts pretty much had all snapped off, but not like you'll be reusing them. Both my manifolds were cracked, so they were all junked.

I'll be honest. My headers were a huge pain in the ass as I only have a suspension lift. Two days with my Dad and I. The passenger side was really easy as my power steering had been seeping for some time so all the manifold bolys came out really easy. Driver side though, it pushed me to my limit. I thought I was gonna have to take out a second mortgage to pay for cutting wheels.

My ultimate goal is to have DT headers Pipe coming straight off those meet with either a Y pipe or having it follow the current path but without the sharp 90 degree bends and then have it run into a flowmaster or no muffler. I didn't say cats because I don't want cats. You guys think that would net me some HP gains?

Also idk if I have the cats bolted to the headers (please gobble let that be the case) or if they are integrated into them.

I'd honestly tell you to consider some high flow cats, they're not that expensive, they still serve their purpose, and, they keep it "legal", which, in the end, is pretty handy if you ever find yourself in a spot where you have to have an inspection and they're bungholes about it.

This is gonna be a secondary car at some point in the near future if I ever need an inspection I'll get a HFC. I'm not gonna weld one section so if I need that HFC I can just install it.
