parts compatibility question

[TDS-84]

Hey all,

I have been slowly accumulating parts as I come across them, to put on my Regal one of these days, when I get a couple other projects done.

Today I am wondering about fitment and "mixing and matching' parts. I picked up ATR stainless up and down pipes a while back. Now I'm looking at some Kenne Bell headers, since I've got a cracked stocker, and from what I've read, these hot airs are more responsive to headers than the intercooled cars. I don't really want to screw around with welding the stocker just to buy some time. I figure I've got a chance to upgrade, if it would work.

Would I be able to use these headers with the pipes that I already have, or do I need to install the Kenne Bell stuff as a set, so to speak? I like the idea of stainless pipes, for sure. Hopefully someone here has experience with some of this stuff. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

KB headers are not stainless steel, and I doubt the ATR pipes will work.

Yup, I realized that the KB headers weren't going to be SS. Mostly I was wondering about the configuration, if the pipes would even bolt up.

I haven't found a pic of the ATR headers, but seeing the KB's, I wondered about hooking them up w/ my ATR pipes.

Would I be better hanging on to my ATR pipes, and passing on the KB's? Giving up on the stainless?

I could always save up for ATR headers, but the price is steep for where I'm at financially.
