Which headers

Ok I would like to get everyone's opinion on which headers I should run on my ZL I would like to have a set that doesn't have a lot of interior drown and should I go with cats or no cats

Pfadt Tri-Y with cats is what a few guys I know run. Sound mean. However I went with the muffler delete for magnaflow y pipes and fuse pull. Def thinking about Pfadt Tri-y this year though.

Pfadt Tri-Y's hands down. Excellent performance and the sound is amazing!! And the belly pan doesn't need to be cut to install them. Here is a link to my YouTube channel with a few sound clips.

I have American Racing headers, high flow cats, stock cat back, fuse pull(which is where the drone comes from, so leave the fuse) and I'm very happy.

But I can't really argue with the other people's post because I did have to cut out part of the belly pan with the install. About an 8x8 inch patch on the back edge for each side.




Don't forget to check out my Roomba, sorry couldn't resist, forgot that video was there.

Are you looking for HP or Sound? The reason I ask is because the NoWeeds Exhaust diverters are a good alternative if you are looking for sound. You can go wide open or close it for using the stock system. You can also set any point in between the wide open or closed settings to customize your sound.

Here is a sound byte taken from earlier today in the wide open position:


Gotta love the comment the chick makes as I drive by...

Otherwise I will be adding to what I already have so by the end of this month I should have in hand my PFADT Tri-Y's (they are on a long backorder btw) with the offroad connection pipes. No Cats!

Pfadt! Just got mine and the craftsmanship is 2nd to none, and I've had several different sets of headers. Sending them to Swaintech for their White Lightening coating, really hate to cover such a beautiful set of headers.

Highly recommend American Racing Headers , my last 3 camaros I only used ARH and ARH is the official headers in the COPO's

I agree I have Kooks 1 7/8ths with high-flow cats, stock cat-back but kept the fuse in. It is very loud on start up and WOT but the closed exhaust flaps at cruise give it almost no drone!!
