The sho shop will work with these headers. Sho shop even recomends it on there site!!
OK now msds won't warranty the headers if you use any other y-pipe. Well because the y-pipe like the bat-pipe and sho shop don't use the stock bolt attachment that is in back of the engine. So it can't pivot off the engine when the engine is flexing back and forth. You need this pivot becuase it can cause stress to the engine headers causing them to slowly lossen or even crack!!
So msds recomends there headers and y-pipe. I recomend you guys do the whole mod don't half ass [censored] like this. Get the y-pipe if yo hanv't already done a optomization to yours already!!
By the way it is 10-13 hp at the wheels and from 15-17 trq at teh wheels. So instead of having 200 motor u have 220!! fot 700 divided 20 = $35.00 for each horsepower. not bad considering you get roughly 17 more torque!!
I hope i cleared some stuff up!!
Still a little confused here. The warranty is good if you use the MSDS y-pipe or an optimized stock y-pipe since the bracket stays intact right?? I also read that the MSDS y-pipe could be further optimized by SRS (?) and I was wondering if it might be best just to optimize my own stock y-pipe rather than get the MSDS y and have it modified. I still retain the warranty and the modified stock y flows better than the MSDS y. I geuss it comes down too whats best the MSDS (unmodified) y or my own modified y? Does this matter much or am I splitting hairs.
