I'm thinking about getting these headers which says the cats are removed when these are installed...and borla recommends that you use it for only racing or off road use...my questions are is there anyone who has these headers from borla with the borla s-type catback system on their 2012 GT?...my GT is my daily driver also...so would the headers w/ the removed cats and s type exhaust be a good move for me? I'm in FL so I don't think the emissions stuff matters..
Ive always heard borlas are great and sound great. And I would also like to run a set like this one day. They are just so expensive I did see this set up on am. Couldn't tell if they were the same headers tho. I don't believe so. But a cat back and headers. Then at your6% forum discount. Your looking at about 2300.
Thanks for that bit of info, ill definitely look into it...can a kooks or stainless works header be used with a borla s-type catback system? I already have the catback installed
Yeah. My buddy has stainless but said he thinks they are a tad to loud for him. So if he sells. Imma have to jump all over them. Trying to get rid of the roush as we speak.
Jay is correct. I also have the kooks LT headers with the Kooks boss 302 h-pipe and sidepipes. It is a beast. You would not be disappointed with Kooks. They are some of the best quality headers I have seen. They are like a work of art. lol
I have stainless works LT's and ORX and fit and finish is great. They are bolted up to my stock OTA pipes with FRPP sport axlebacks, and the sound is heavenly. If more power is what you have in mind, save your money for something else. But I love the look of them and the sound of them.
Fwiw I wouldn't pay anyone more than $100 to install them, Stryker, if you paid $700 for installation then you get scammed. While I agree it was a huge PITA I wouldn't spend that much letting someone else do it for me. Hell I'd do it for someone if they paid me $200, and I also did mine on a garage floor on jackstands.
All in all I really enjoy my LT's and would do it again if I had too
I certainly didn't pay $700 to get them done. I was just saying that if you don't have all the tools and goodies like a air compressor, impact wrench, deep well sockets, and flexible racheting wrenches it may be a better option to pay someone. All the tools that make the job bearable can add up.
I tell ya, that top starter bolt is the biggest pita.
It may also be a bit easier to install some of the LTs other than kooks. Kooks is a mid length design so there is more room needed to maneuver them in place, especially 1 7/8 piping.
I wasn't planning on dropping it, and I didn't have anyone to help, so I just lowered it enough to slide the headers in.
