Re: Hedman Street Hedders 68460

I wish I could help you, but I just ran duals out the back, instead. Just get one made, if nothing else, but they're so long, it'd be a pretty big pain.

Re: why do honda/import "tuner" people think their stuff is fast

Stock for a third gen isn't anything to brag about.

It's a small block chevy, there is almost no excuse as to why you couldn't make it faster if you wanted to.

Most head gaskets, as far as I know, are copper.

You shouldn't need to replace a head gasket ever, unless you get your engine hot or are running one HELL of a set-up.

If I were you, I'd just get the headers and have them make the exhaust.

Cheaper than paying for the "Borla"-stamped pipe you're buying.

No, your Y pipe is what you don't want to buy; it's the bottleneck.
