TRI-Y
headers are 1 5/8" primaries into 2" secondary
into 2 1/2 finals. All tubing is 14-gauge steel .083
thick. Gasket-less ball socket couplings are used.
Flanges are 3/8" "D" port and CNC
Laser cut. Box end wrench can be used on every bolt.
The header tubes are paired
in a 4-into-2 into 1 design. The cylinder scavenging
is greatly increased by using the exhaust velocity of one
cylinder to aid the exhaust velocity of the cylinder
it is paired with.
For the 91- 93
B-body, add the following to the part number you are
interested in: "LO5".

Currently
the TRI-Y headers bolt directly onto the
heads with no modification to emissions or
alternator
brackets. A box end wrench can be used on every header bolt.
The block does NOT have to be lifted for
installation. Removal of the starter is NOT required. These headers
fit better than the factory manifolds and
have no clearance problems or heat related problems. You will
NOT have to use heat shielding of any kind.
The
TRI-Y headers come with header nuts & bolts needed for
installation but DOES NOT COME WITH HEADER GASKETS. We
recommend Earl's Pressure Master Gasket from Summit
Racing, part number EAR-29DA3BERL. They retail
for $41.69 before shipping and feature a re-usable
aluminum frame with a replaceable graphite center. The converters bolt to
the headers and cat-back exhaust via gasket-less ball-socket
flanges. The converters reside directly across from
one another on opposite sides of the transmission
housing.
The
2 1/2" small body converter, (which is the one
used with the TRI-Y system) flow 590 cfm (cubic feet
per minute). We fabricate converters specifically for
our custom headers systems. The 1996 Impala SS uses four oxygen
sensors. Two before the converters and two after.
Our high flow metallic core converters are also available in configurations
for both the 94/95 model years. The stock converters may not be used
with the TRI-Y headers due to the extended length
of the header tubes. There is a space restriction
on the drivers side, so modification to the stock
converters would be required. We also have extended
hook-up pipes that replace the cats and bolt to the
headers and cat-back exhaust via ball-flange sockets.
(For off-road use ONLY!).
We
now offer a complete custom SpinTech exhaust from the heads
all the way to the tailpipes. With the purchase of
a complete system there should be no welding or cutting
required. (Though some vehicles vary). Systems are available with or without resonators.
The
install time for the TRI-Y headers will range from four to six hours, depending
on your mechanical ability. Only basic tools are
required.
CHROMEX is a ceramic coating which mimics a chrome
finish. It is rated to 1300° Fahrenheit and reduces
radiated heat under the hood tremendously, as well as
improving scavenging, (rate and method of exhaust gas
flow through the header tubes). CERMACHROME contains
aluminum flake which is polished to allow the polished
metallic finish.
A
lifetime warranty is offered on the TRI-Y headers
but only if one of the ceramic finishes is applied.
I
hope I was able to answer all your questions satisfactory.
If you would like to purchase our TRI-Y headers, we require payment
in advance. Headers are custom built upon order and
take about 3-4 weeks to ship. We accept credit cards
or you may pay by check/money order or
PayPal.com.
