Looking to buy some long tube headers
Hey, looking for a little advice here guys.
I'm currently looking to purchase some long tube headers to get some more power and that deeper sound I love. I have a few questions tho, 1. If I have the NPP exhaust and want to keep it, all I have to do is get the lt headers, and high flow cats, and they will bolt right up to the rest of the exhaust correct? 2. Are Kooks 1 7/8" and high flow cats good to go with? Only heard good things about them but would love a little more input here. 3. Is there any issue with fitment regarding the steering shaft? 4. Is it safe to drive 3 hours at freeway speeds to get them tuned? (plan is I install them in my garage and then drive to a tuning shop 3 hours away) ALSO where should I order these headers? Maryland speed? Who else is good? Anything I'm forgetting?

I have Dynatech headers from Jannetty Racing.... Love the fit and finish. They also do a remote tune so you don't have to wait.

I was going to say you guys as well since I've ordered several things from you in the past, but I saw that you didn't carry Kooks, that's the only reason I left you out! Maybe I didn't look well enough, or maybe I should check out the other brands of lt headers that you carry.. I'll also give that post a read, thanks Chase.

^^^^I did exactly this plus a JRE Tune and couldn't be happier. Chase is right on. The only other thing I will add to that is the steering shaft clearance issue. I did not have any clearance issues (I have about 1/2" clearance) but have read where others have; even with the reputable/popular headers. It think is just as much about the variation in the cars as the headers.

We used these, They fit perfect, were easy to install and haven't had any problems in 3 years. They look like KOOKS,
