i was talkin to a mechanic today and he said i should get headers for my 2006 monte ss if i really wanted to see some more horsepower. does anyone know if any company makes headers for my car?

i dunno if anyone makes them, but if i was your mechanic i wouldnt recommend you getting headers for ME to install on your FWD 5.3L v8

well obviously i would pay him but ya im just lookin to get my car some exra power, mayb up to 350 horses which would be awesome. i hear the diablo thing or any other chip mod on an automatic would run like crap so i dont wanna do that

that engines part of the LS series engines, so i think anything they make for the ls1 ls2 ls7 etc. will work on it, but im not sure

but your tranny on the other hand may not like the added power

if you would go to www.autoanything.com I was just there recently looking up mods as well....They had headers there by about every major company....

Summit racing has cat foward headers click on the link above.

no, there are currently no headers available for our 06-07 montes...

there is no room in our engine bay for any of the "standard" headers.. there are guys talking over at ls1tech.com LS4 section about custom fabricating some and see if they can get a company to make them... but that's about it at this point...

there IS a down-pipe available... made by Hogan... http://hoganperforma...com/WBodyGM.htm


don't believe that summit racing link either... it's wrong... those headers are not for our car... and also if you notice, it says that the 06-07 Monte is REAR wheel drive....

where the hell did you hear THAT?? ha ha ha ha ha

couldn't be further from the truth... lemme tell ya, I have a diablo predator, and it's a night and day difference... as a matter of fact, it does MORE for automatics than it does for manuals... it really wakes up the car... especially once you get the fueling dialed in even more.. a lot faster throttle response, quicker acceleration, harder/stronger pull at higher speeds, etc etc ... it's definitely worth it...

I would DEFINITELY recommend one if you're interested in tuning your car...
