2nd Gen F-body LSx header suggestions needed
Yo, I'm in the process of dropping a LS motor in my '79 TA. Looking for suggestions on which long-tube headers (1 7/8 preferred) will work best...budget is important here also
Dynatech has the musclemaxx headers, but they are close to $600/set now.
I believe Kooks also makes a set, but they are in the $900/set ballpark.
Any others out there that will provide good fit and not break the bank (albiet small bank) in the process?

Hedman makes the headers for BRP. You have to be careful which mounts you use them with. If you use mounts that do not move the engine back a bit, you will generally have issues mounting the headers because of how they route the tubes. If you don't mind notching the frame then this becomes a non-issue. Also, the Hedman's I have had hang the collectors a little too low for my liking.
Hooker also sells swap headers, cheap....but I am not sure they cover 2nd gen F-bodies yet. My issue with Hookers is their collectors hug the floorboards nicely, but they are pitched up a bit. I have an issue with cutting brand new headers to rework them especially if I had them ceramic coated.
Thanks,
Dave

I know you are under a budget...but we all are in reality. You cannot go wrong with Kook's from Bob at Brutespeed. He is second to none in customer service and has a sweet deal right now for LS1Tech'rs. You won't find them any cheaper and the quality is phenomenal.
