Engine & DrivetrainDiscussions about the engine and drivetrain of your vehicle.
This is a discussion thread titled "SSAutochrome Headers Installed - Great!!", within the Engine & Drivetrain forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
The Y-pipe is made from mild steel and then chrome plated, at least the one they sent me, and it is missing the 02 sensor bung that goes in the Y-pipe.

I don't think there is supposed to be an O2 in the "Y" pipe. I know there are 2 in the headers (1 each) and 1 behind each cat. All that is BEFORE the "Y".
So.... where would one go?

The 2003 model has the post-cat O2 sensor on the pass. side in the Y-pipe. Sure enough, you'll need to cut out the original O2 flange (it's not just a bung) and weld it into the new Y-pipe.

I used the ones that came from Autochrome although if I had to do it over, I'd spend the 30 bucks for the oem stuff from the dealer.

I installed my headers a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I have some friends here in Atlanta that allows me to use the shop to work on my vehicles which that made my installation go smoothely.
I used the OEM gaskets after comparing them to the ones shipped with the headers and the OEM studs and bolts but I added the lock washer that came in the kit. I used the SS gasket where the headers bolt up to the OEM cat pipe. Additionally I had to notch the driver side header flange to clear the A/C bracket (the shop tools really came in handy). The O2 sensor bung has been moved so I had no problems installing the sensors. The entire job took about 5 hours and a couple of banged up knuckles. Thanks to your installation tips.
I had already replaced the stock muffler with a glass pipe and split duals and I have a 2 to 3 inch hole cut in the front of the intake air box. We drove it down to Fla. over the weekend and I must say it Sweeeet!!!
I must say being a member has it privelages and you guys have been a big help. Desinging and maintaining computer networks for a living makes playing around and maintaining my vehicles therapy.
Well... being only 17 years old, I am on a limited budget... but $175.00 for headers and a Y-pipe just sounds like too good of a deal to pass up!
My finger is twitching over "Place Bid" button right now...
So everybody likes 'em right?! Yes?!

Well, it's a mixed bag. You're going to lose some low end grunt, but they do open things up above 3,000 rpm. They look good, too. Plan on a 6 hour install...longer if you're not experienced. I found it easiest to unbolt the motor mounts and jack up the engine. The Y-pipe will require welding, I believe. For those with the '03 and up models, it will also require moving the O2 flange from the old pipe to the new one.
I personally wouldn't do it again, even for the low cost.

"We likes them, we likes them a lot!" Spoke like Goloum...
Anyway... I like them, cost is right, The NEW headers have the O2 bung in the right position and they fit very nice. I have a S/C V8, so I saw an increase across the board.
IMO.... I would do it.

Well I finally got rid of my '02 Access Cab and got a Double Cab
This week is going to include some moding...
SSAutochrome headers
Air Lift Suspension

Just wanted to thank you guys for getting the Bung situation fixed...

Well....this is a first! I've never read that anyone would LOSE any low end torque by adding headers. Possibly going to dual if done wrong....but headers losing torque over OEM log manifold?? Makes no sence. I understand possibly 1 1/2 primaries, or long tube giving more.
Also, anyone that installed on an 03, did you have to change out the type of 02 sensors or are there seperate headers for the 03's?

I have them installed on my 03 and did not have to change the type of 02 sensors.
