Speed Daddy Headers any good!?!?

[Massey936]

im thinking about ordering some and i just want to know how people like them that have them. Also how much of a ***** is it to install?The flex they send with them i read are crap so was going to get one from zzp what size do i need? Does the welding shop just cut the old one off amd weld in the new one?

Yes get SD's. Yes replace flex w/ ZZP 3" one. Yes they cut old flex pipe out and weld in new one and don't use the crappy clamps they come with get napa easy seal clamps.


Just a heads up next time is the search feature (top of page) pet peeve of a lot of us when threads are made on same common subjects

I don't own them,buttt from what I've read,they are the shiznit

 

[Massey936]

Alright man thanks so much! and sorry about that will do next time. Also how much of a pain in the ass are they to install? I got a quote from midas and they want $1000 plus shop fees and if they dont break a bolt in head so thinking about doing myself.

If you want to pay me half that I'll do them sober.

 

[Matt Palm]

Most people do them themselves and only take a few hours to do it

$1000 !! rofl lol nope there pretty easy to do a bit time consuming but give yourself a weekend and you should be alright. Use BillBoost sticky and you could have then down in a matter of hours. Ill link it later unless someone beats me to it.

Thats what said i kinda wanted to laugh at the guy, thanks.

 

[REDCRAPGP]

Simple unbolting and moving items to the side does not cost $1000 lol.

 

[Massey936]

Exactly! idk what the hell he was thinking

 

[REDCRAPGP]

That's a shop for you. Always trying to get over on the customers! The ones that pay that kind of price I can ensure you don't drive Grand Prixs lol and probably have money to burn.

 

[Massey936]

Yeah hah

Good headers for the price. I am still rocking the flex that came with them and no leaks i can tell. You'll need 2 2.25" exhaust band clamps and 2 3"

I literally just got a set of the speed daddy's. Other than not receiving any clamps and the crossover pipe didn't fit properly.. Had to grind the entire diameter of the pipe because it wasn't flanged right.

I opted to NOT do a different flex pipe per bills recommendation and the one it came with looks good and doesn't make any noticeable extra noise at least to me. It's easy enough later to unbolt the pipe from the header and have a new one welded In if you'd like.

I bought 2- 3" and 2 - 2 1/4" seal style clamps because I did have issues on a previous grand prix where the ssautochrome set I bought leaked with the u bolt style clamps on the front header. At the time my solution was to just double up the u bolts which worked fine.
