Headers

Re: Headers
Your mechanic is wrong. You can get them with/without AIR fittings, but they would have the O2 bugs on them. I have TPiS long tubes on mine without the AIR stuff and heated O2's.

Re: Headers
You might need to get 02 sensor extention harnesses. They're like $20-$30. And get the harnesses, don't try and cut and crimp or splice yourself as the O2's are VERY voltage sensative and unless you are a master at crimping and soldering, you'll start having driveability issues cause the O2's are giving bad readings due to less than perfect wiring.
Re: Headers
Well I going to take back headers because they said I wouldn't be able to pass inspection and it's going to $1600 to do everything I don't get any of the guys I've taken my car too

Re: Headers
That's why it's always useful to put your location in your username info.
Where are you located?
Maybe some other people in your area may have some better input.
Or, ..., you need to find a better garage who isn't gonna screw ya over for more money & things you don't need, ...

I'm locacted in fort worth Texas and yeah the other guy I took my car to said that unless I have someone pass me on inspection than I won't pass but I question is how do the firehawks get headers on there and still pass inspection?

Cars with headers can be legal several ways.94hawk170 wrote:I'm locacted in fort worth Texas and yeah the other guy I took my car to said that unless I have someone pass me on inspection than I won't pass but I question is how do the firehawks get headers on there and still pass inspection?
- Shorty / mid-length headers
- No visual inspection
- No inspection
- Knowing / paying someone who does the inspection
Shorty / mid-length headers don't require relocation of the cats which is the main issue with long tubes.

Re: Headers
I live in Irving Texas and have long tube Kooks headers on my Firehawk, I have never had a problem with the inspection, The majority of Firehawks and Camaros in the area alol have headers, there should not be any reason that you would have a problem.

Re: Headers
This is the first year that my renewal on my tag is requiring an emissions test. I pulled an emissions code on my Hawk quite a while ago, but it was a repair that I could live without. I am now terrified of the emissions test..............I plan to get the code pulled again and see what it specifically needs. Geese........could I just go a month without a repair ?????? I have headers............long tube BBK, I believe......but then I don't know what to believe about this car anymore.
