Pfadt Tri-Y Headers are back @ APEX! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The proven Pfadt Tri-Y header design has returned!!!

NO TRIMMING YOUR ZL1 BELLY PAN
TRI-Y Design, 4-2-1 tube merging
Makes much more torque under the curve, while still increasing top end HP
1.875/2.125" tube diameter
Direct connection to factory X-Pipe and after market Cat-backs
CNC flanges with OEM locating features
Fully hand-TIG welded on-site
T-304 16 Gauge Stainless Steel
Fully Brushed Stainless Steel Finish
V-Band Clamp connections
Equal length long tubes
Available with and without Catalytic Converters
Full 3" collector
Comes with bullet-nosed flange bolts for installation
O2 Sensor extenders
Cometic Multi-Layer Steel gasket upgrade
Exhaust system with Cats is 24lbs lighter than factory
Exhaust system without Cats is 27lbs lighter than factory

The Pfadt design takes proper exhaust flow to a new level by pairing non-adjacent cylinders together to create a super-scavenging effect with the 4-into-2-into-1 (Tri-Y) construction. In this system, the exhaust flow from individual cylinder pulses are optimized to suck air into the combustion chamber from the intake. This creates a much more efficient power curve that results in a greater amount of usable torque (called torque under the curve) in the mid-range, while not sacrificing any top-end power for peak numbers.

Pfadt ZL1 headers with stock cat back.

UGH, 2 weeks too late. Just got my ARH 2 days ago and now I see this.

No need for regret. ARH headers are a great set up.

Yes, we do. You have to call to place an international order.

RLHMARINES · 08-21-2015, 03:13 PM

Ok... I hope they are priced reasonably...

Debo3883 · 08-21-2015, 04:34 PM

Pm me a price for headers with cat less connection pipes for stock exhaust shipped to 15905. Thanks!

PM sent.

Do they sound the same as other headers?

Whitefifthgen · 08-21-2015, 10:19 PM

I've heard about these headers can someone explain to me why they would be any better than the other top brand headers, like arh, kooks, dynotech?

Z/28Dan · 08-22-2015, 09:29 AM

I love my PFADT headers. The Try-Y's are built for low end torque from what I'm told. I can't say they were cheap, but you get what you pay for.

mrvenicess · 08-22-2015, 10:47 AM

I've had mine on for two years and love them. They are beautifully made, don't require trimming the belly pan to fit and make tons of torque.

EvilZL1 · 08-22-2015, 11:25 AM

just a year late. when i was ready to buy headers they went out of business, guess ill make that torque up another way. went with ARH

They sound a little different than typical long tube headers but it is not something so different that the average person is going to notice.

Tri-Y headers tend to produce similar peak gains as traditional 4 into 1 headers but with more mid range power.
