Good morning. I'm from Kuwait, My Car - Chevrolet Caprice 2008 - Middle East - V8 6.0L , I want to buy headers for my car. What is the best in your opinion I want to buy headers 1 7/8 3 inch What do you think?
Will you be keeping the standard cats? 1 7/8 changed the position of the cats and will make them hang lower, you might find that hi flow cats which are smaller are required. It's my understanding that these types of headers are best suited for top end power rather than low down torque. (not an abba fan) will be able to help you more even sell you some. Cheers
Is there really any point in buying just headers alone? OP might have some other plans for his car... but headers alone? All headers do is make it easier for the waste gases to exhaust from the engine... maybe 1 - 2 kw gain at the most? It would make sense if he's looking to buy an exhaust system as well, a few more gains there and nice growl too... maybe a cool air intake too. S.alajmi.87 Take your time, do your research and plan your parts carefully. You don't want to throw your money into something and find out its not what you're looking... or you end up having worse results than what you began with. Remember, to my understanding, any modifications like that will void your warranty at the dealer... that is if it hasn't expired yet. Make sure any modifications you do are installed properly. To my understanding, certain sensors (O2 sensors etc, sometimes even MAF sensor) have to be disabled after modifications have been carried out on the intake and exhaust of the car. Be sure to get someone experienced who knows what they're doing to carry out the modifications for you. Best of luck.
With a tune headers and cats will give you 15hp at the wheels easy. Factory cats are disgraceful power robbing bits of greeny rubbish! Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2
That's the point. The OP only mentioned headers, with his stock factory cats he'll be less than impressed. He should only proceed to mod if he has any plans to continually upgrade to achieve proper results. Modding in this part of the world (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait etc) is done in very shabby and careless ways, the car remaining stock would be better off.
