They have ones with AIR/EGR and off road ones with neither, depending on which you want.

im gunna put LPP headers on my 96 T/A. is this a good choice? does anyone have any good feedback on them?

[mikey mort]

lol im new to headers whats the difference between off road and air/egr?

[LTb1ow]

Nothing really, non AIR/EGR will require a tune to delete the EGR/AIR systems out.

Def go race headers though, F AIR/EGR, they subtract from the shiny.

Just a silly question here. What else is done to the car that you want to jump in and do long tubes?

Theres other places on a stock 4th gen that I would throw parts at first. Chassis/Suspension would be one of them.

[mikey mort]

so there racing headers? as long as i gain horsepower and they look good, and my cars louder then im a happy camper.

Even da Kroil won't touch those POS's...

You have a race car?

[mikey mort]

no its a street car but i want to build it up. i have a new exhaust system and a couple of things have been done to the suspension

[mikey mort]

lol explain these to me ive only had the car for 6 months and im trying to learn about all the things u can do to it.

[mikey mort]

my dad was into T/As, so i figured id follow in his footsteps and get into cars, so im trying to learn all kinds of things about T/As and what u can add on to them and do to them.

its cool you wanna follow in your old mans footsteps. There is plenty to learn, is it manual or auto?

[mikey mort]

its a 96 T/A lt1 ws6, its kinda rare. only 2,000 were made its an automatic, and it runs great. is there anything thats cheaper than headers that would give me more horsepower besides my new exhaust?

Lets be nice to the new guy alright asshat? :|

[mikey mort]

headers wont hurt the engine though if i put them in now right?

[LTb1ow]

Hurt like need a bandaid?

[mikey mort]

is it still okay for me to put the headers on though. it wont hurt the car right?

Hurt like need a bandaid?
lol no not like a bandaid. like will it cause something to happen to the engine.....leaks so on

[sweetbmxrider]

not used to the whole page 2 concept are we? :lol:

worst thing that is common to happen with headers is burnt wires, mainly ignition wires. you feel the car start to misfire, make a panic thread, then we all point and laugh. its good stuff

[mikey mort]

lol yea im new to page 2 lmao i was like what the hells goin on? so i should try to cover the wires with somethin

i gotta go ill talk to u guys tomorrow. thanks for all the help

If you decide to go race headers then be prepaired to possibly fail inspection. That being said, putting headers on can lead to exhaust leaks if the gaskets don't hold and possibly y-pipe leaks as well. You'll need some heat wrap to protect some of the wiring, plug wires and possibly the fuel and brake lines under the car where the y-pipe will almost touch them. You will need a tune to remove the check engine light for the missing EGR and AIR if you go race headers, and to tune out the rear O2 sensors. If your motor mounts are worn, your headers or y-pipe will most likely hit the A-arm or floorboard when you accelerate. Plan on getting new front O2 sensors as well but don't put them in right away as new headers can burn off the coating or oily residue and foul out the O2 sensors. Overall, the header install can run around $1000 even if you install them yourself if you swap out other parts like the O2's, plug wires, motor mounts, gaskets, tune, plugs, heat wrap, etc.
