Long tube headers...
I've been going back and fourth whether or not to get long tube headers and I finally decided to pull the trigger. I will be purchasing from Floored Fab out of Arizona and if I could get 2 other members to join in the price would be $2400. This would include headers, X-pipe, race cats, and all the piping that goes all the way to back to the muffler. There are 2 different version, one is mild steel with coating and with the option of upgrading to stainless steel. The price listed is for the mild steel. If anyone is interested please let me know and we could get the ball rolling. Once again this is a very good deal and if interested in purchasing this would be the time.

Just recently I purchased Vadim's mid section exhaust system and it truly sounds great but I'll be parting with the system in order to make room for my LT's and my loss will be your gain. I will be selling the system for $1800 which includes VRP shorty headers, stainless steel mid section, 200 cell race cats, and Vadim's X-pipe. I will have a sound clip this weekend. If anyone wants to purchase these items separately the prices will be $1100 for the mid section/race cats and $700 for the shorty headers.

Keep in mind that Vadim's mid section is a direct bolt on with no cutting of the stock exhaust system. This was the main selling point on me purchasing this setup.

I was told that you really feel the LT's in the mid and upper range. If I end up getting 20 rwhp over my existing setup I would be extremely happy.

I believe he uses 2.5" and has been happy with the results. I'm sure 3" could be a option but don't hold me to it. If you have any question in regards to this I'm sure Chiromikey could chime in and give a explanation on why 2.5 over 3.

HAHA!! Told you.

You will love the long tubes. especially since you are being realistic about the gains. Mid to top is exactly where you should expect the gains and where we need them most. Happy tuning.....

Good luck and enjoy.

Do you have the 3" system back? By chance do you have a picture of your setup? If it's VRP headers I'm sure Chris is the one that manufactured them.

^^Thanks Jon! That looks really sharp and now I'm even more excited than before. Is that the mild steel with coating and 3" tubes?

I like the setup in black. So, VRP uses 3" tubing and Floored uses 2.5"? Is that for sure? Any differences noted by the drivers?

They are 304 stainless steel with ceramic coating...I believe they are 2.75" and not 3"...

I thought so, but maybe there were some design changes after VRP took over the project? I'm just seeing the differences here and it makes me curious.

So is all of the tubing replaced or is the cat back still OEM? I ask because our OEM tubing is also 2.75" but with pinch points close to the front.

That black looks SICK!

Jangy...I believe Victor original design were 3" and he felt it was too much and he didn't like the sound...
