Second section with high flow converter pic's will be posted soon
Here is the pricing:

The header with ceramic coating inside and out and stainless steel down-pipe (without cat converter) is 575.00. Two O2 extensions are required. They will cost $40.00 for the set. Shipping should be right around $35.00. So total of $650.00 delivered. We will also be offering a hi-flow stainless converter, this would replace the down-pipe and would be an additional $120.00 for a total of $770.00 delivered.

We can go into header production next week.

As far as gains, we do not have any dyno numbers. The one local customer did dyno his supercharged car but he never tested it before the header/down-pipe went on. The power and torque increase will be more with the supercharged car as compared to the normally aspirated car. I don't have a solid number for you at this time.

Let me know if you have any other questions or would like to order.
We can not offer GP or sale pricing at this time. We have been back ordered on Impala headers for months and are almost caught up on production. We are moving into a new shop next month and i do not want to end up back ordered during a big move.

I just hired a new full time employee today to assist with header production. I also hired another part time employee a few weeks ago to assist with Mandrel bending.

The new shop is 2500 sq. ft. larger than what we are currently in so we have room to grow. We will continue with R&D for new products and vehicles.

Anyways, thanks for all your patience and interest in our products. I know we are not the lowest cost out there but we are the best. We use thicker gage tubing, thicker flanges, polish out the clamps marks, completely debur internally, etc. Basically we try to offer workmanship and finish above and beyond what most other companies consider acceptable.

Damn that thing looks good. Makes me think twice, boost?or bolt-ons, cam it, and spray?

 

why do companys make headers that dont jsut bolt to factory or even aftermarket stuff lol. like pacesetter for example

 

Because we dont' have alot of room to make a long tube header fit to the stock dp.

 

Found my header. Regarding the dp that we have not seen pictures of yet, will it end at the stock location? So we could pair up this lt header with an aftermarket catback and replace our entire exhaust in an afternoon on the driveway?

 

wow, if i wasnt boosted i would def pick these up, they look super high quality

 

that looks nice...too bad it looks like a ball joint setup or else I might consider it to replace my Pacesetter.

 

I know what ya mean but i'm gonna trust CI as they have made alot of quality headers. And i do believe the header/dp connects to the factory catback. 2.5" aswell.

 

Is that collector 3"??

 

2.5"

 

Boo, I want a 3" collector. No sense having that be the small point in the exhaust.

 

The complete 2 piece Tri-y header does end in the factory position, and will hook up to any cat-back system.
As soon as we get more converters in, we will be able to put a second section together and get pic's up. they are due in early next week.
We made it a 2 piece header for ease of installation.
The only reason we do not have pic's of the second section yet is because our first customer wanted to retain his stock converter, which now he will more then likely have us replace it in the near future.

 

this will by next mod whenever i get some money up for grabs

 

yeah that one pictured is actually the one i will be receiving in about a week and a half. as soon as i can i will be getting some numbers up for it from both the track and the dyno. and just as a heads up i run the 1000 ft and my very best so far is 11.12 at 98 im looking for high tens with this setup.

 

We started with a shorty header that didn't work out. The story is posted in the 2.0 section. This is a long tube header built to work with our new down-pipe. They wil bolt to the factory exhaust system or any after market exhaust system which directly replaces the factory exhaust.

As far as the ball/socket collector, we have been using this design since 1999 on our TRI-Y headers for the 94 - 96 Impala SS. I have roughly 700 cars running the headers and we have NEVER had a customer with an exhaust leak at the collector. The ball/socket is gasketless and very low maintenance. BUT, we could probably install V-band flanges if someone wants to pay for them. I'm curious, what collector design does Pace Setter offer if you prefer their design?

As far as the 2 1/2" collector, it is required for proper scavenging of the TRI-Y design. A 3" collector would not work. If you have a 3" exhaust then we may be able to offer the down-pipe in 3".

Thanks for your feedback and interest in our products.

 

I don't prefer their design
I'm personally not a fan of the ball joint setup because I know it IS prone to leaks so I'd like to have a long tube header with a flange and flex pipe instead but there are none available other than the Vibrant and I don't believe I can order one without the downpipe.

Pacesetter offers a ball joint setup as well and their header is nearly identical to the one you offer...

 

ok well today i hit the dyno WITHOUT the header i put down 246 hp and 225 ft lb of torque. once i get this put on i will go back to the same place and dyno again. the temp was 86 degrees out, and its very humid today. i also noticed something kinda funny this thread is in the 2.4 section.

 

Thats great you have some base #'s to work with!
As for being in the 2.4 thread, our Tri-y header will fit this motor also

 

Sweet, looking forward to before/after numbers. After my HPT and some spray, im gonna be looking for a real header. I would love to see some nice gains from this, its a quality piece.

 

Well, I can't speak for other companies ball/socket designs but ours certainly are not prone to leaking. The 94 - 96 Impala SS community are very picky about what they like when it comes to performance parts and with 700 plus customers running our TRI-Y headers using ball/socket, I am pretty confident they would have let me know if there was a problem.

However, I will admit we have had two Solstice customers, with our long tube TRI-Y header, using ball/socket. The nuts/bolts holding the flanges together had loosened up. Maybe the Ecotec engine vibrates more or in some way allows more vibration to transfer to the header. In both cases, we had the customers install extra nuts to act as "jam nuts" on the bolts and problem was solved.

Anyways, like I mentioned, we could always use V-band flanges with clamps.

I tried looking for the Pace Setter Cobalt header but could not find a picture. I am very curious to see how close they are to ours. Do you have a link?

 

there is only a 4-1 design. Only similarities is the length

 

actually you're right I didn't even notice the 4-2-1 design the first time around

here is a link to the Pacesetter
http://www.turbotechracing.com/produ...idproduct=2728

its technically made for the Sunfire/Cavalier but fits the Cobalt/Ion...will you be offering the header by itself without the midpipe? or an extension piece that I can use to connect to my existing midpipe?

 

This is a 2 piece "true" Tri-y designed header.
The competition has their Tri-y configured wrong They will function, but not as intended fro a tr-y design.
The Pace Setter shown in the link has the O2 bung on just one cylinder, which is not going to give your computer an accurate reading
Our's is in the collector as it should be Also our secondary 02 bung is located behind our high flow converter, while the competition has their 02 bung in front of their cat, again, not going to give you an accurate reading.

 

what makes you the best. workmanship? I want the best HP for the money. please get some #'s

 

thats a generic picture I believe...

my primary 02 is in the same location as yours and my secondary is after the cat but I have a custom downpipe and hi flow cat.

it would be a nice header to have if I didn't have to rip into my downpipe again and I could just bolt on the header. (the one you are offering)
