Downpipe comes with headers.

They are the price of downpipes nowadays.

Why are flow mods a waste?

no not flow mods i mean putting a little bit of race gas in with each fill up is a waste and i know but some people refuse to buy headers so they should just buy the downpipe because leaving that exhaust stock is just a all around bad idea

As long as it is knock free...who cares, right?

I mean, when the platform was newer people just used to run a 3.2", 160*'s, AL103's, and a race pellet with race gas...super cool right?

some people just dont want to learn

Like you? LOL.

hey my set up is basically knock free.....lol

and i learned im buying a better platform this spring....ive given up on making a wbody fast lol

Ok, im not sure what your premium gas is where you live but basically your saying for those 3800 drivers who live in cities with 93 octane as their premium are wasting their time. my mix is simply 93octane, the same rating in which GMs manual recommends(which ever is your rating premium gas in ya city which is most likely 91-93 octane is what GM recommends).

now 87 octane wont help you at all, but running premium which is what my mix is and is doing its job it was intended to do. as long as you dont go H.A.M. With the octane and only use enough to help with the combustion chamber temps along side other things it would help, you'll be fine.
