Thanks Tom. I have flow Master Outlaw cat backs. I want to put stainless long tube headers on . One mechanic says its a 2 day job and he has to pull the engine . Another says don't do it. Another says install with fake cats. I value your intelligence more. What do you advize ? Thanks again, Jim

I wouldn't install fake cats. This would be an illegal set-up and you would not pass state emissions' testing. Also, cats offer very little exhaust flow resistance. (message 1 0f 3).

I am not sure about the need to pull the engine to install long tube headers. Have you contacted the manufacturer to get its advice? Also, long-tube headers are basically for racing. They do the best job building horsepower and torque from mid-to-high RPMs. (message 2 of 3)

Another option is shorty headers, like the ones on the SRT. They can be installed with the engine in place. They are great for the street because they deliver more power horsepower and torque from idle to the mid-RPM range. (message 3 of 3)

Thanks Tom ,I'll go with the shorties and Diablo.
Your advice was priceless.
