Help pick headers 4 my 6.2
Looking at getting headers for my 2010 sivlerado 6.2
Gunna go with 1 7/8 headers and catted y pipe
May keep stock exhaust for now.
I'm leaning towards kooks
I want to hear your picks and y
Also I hear u guys talk about other brands
Obx, lpp, pacesetters,
Do those brands come with a y- pipe or header only
I do not want a header y pipe set up that I have to modify
Direct bolt in
Mods to my truck so far
Vararam tri power cai, asp ud, Ported tb,
Will b getting a tune after headers!!!

Kooks or American Racing are basically the same design, and both have catted y-pipe options and come in 1 7/8" sizes. Quality is high but so is the price tag.
Dynatech also makes a longtube/catted y but I don't know the size of the primaries (guessing 1 3/4).
OBX, pacesetters and (I think) LPP are 1 3/4" and don't have catted y pipes.
Is your truck 2WD or 4?

You can re-use the oe gasket and bolts if you want.
I always do, with no issues.
If they fit as well as ARH's you will be happy.
That price is not bad either, for a full stainless kit.

I run the Pacesetters on mine. The Y pipe was a PITA with the 6l80e so I just modified it a little. I also modified it to have a 3.5" flange to mate up to the stock pipe. They fit just fine.

I have the ARH 1 7/8 headers and 3" ORY on my truck and the fit and finish on these is great. Bolted right up with no fitment issues. I wish that they had a ceramic coating though, especially in that price range.
The only issue that I have had is that one of the primary pipes on the driver's side comes REALLY close to the steering rod and if the engine idles rough (ie. a bad tune and bigger cam) it moves enough on the mounts that that pipe knocks against the steering rod. It's so annoying that I am considering taking my hammer and massaging the pipe a little. Other than that, it is amazing how well they fit, especially on the AWD trucks.
You will most definitely need a tune after the headers.
