Does anyone sell front facing headers like you would find in a turbo or marine engine application? I've seen a lot of them on twin turbo cars, but I don't know if they are all custom built or if there's a company that sells them.

I think I remember a company that made them, but they were super expensive. Like $1200-$1500. Surely there are cheaper ones out there.

I've seen this done on SB1's, betting shorty headers and mounting them on the opposite side. THey had to be tweaked up a little. I've seen custom stock car headers made from the ground up for under $700 as well. I'm not sure if the bolt pattern would work on a LS.

Manifolds? I already have those.
I'm looking for long tube headers preferably with equal length primaries.

If I tacked together my own, who could I send them to for finish welding and coating?

What crazy Idea are u working on now Jason? I think i might know someone that will finish welding them. He is on here so let me find his name and ill post it here.

The worlds lowest Trans Am of course.

I see 3 options for this car. I could get Mac mid-length headers, but they just don't make the power of full lengths, so they're a last resort.

Option 2 is take some cheap regular headers and tuck them up about 2". Both of these choices create a problem of running the pipes to the rear of the car.

Option 3 is to run the headers forward and then mount cats and mufflers in front of the engine in a nice, neat little package and then dump it out in front of the wheels.

A lot of the decision is going to based on how much I have to raise the floors. There may be no room left for exhaust pipes.

BTW, I'm body dropping the car. Nothing can hang below the oil pan and trans.

I don't think a set of short front facing headers would be any better than the Mac mid-lengths. Because of the room in the engine compartment, it wouldn't be easy to have equal length primaries either. Good luck in your quest!

Believe me, I've got plenty of room. That's why I insist on tuned headers and not shorties or mids.

I posted on your other thread about the short spindle frontend, so I am guessing that without the strut towers and all of that there would be a great amount of room to build these headers. I sent you a pm of a member on here that might be able to weld them out if you get them tacked up, but I might be able to get with him and see if we could build a set, but the only car I have for mockup is mine, and I still have the shock towers.

I'm probably going to have to build the exhuast last. What I might do is buy a set of cheap stainless headers and cut them up. it would save me the cost of coating them. I'll just polish it.

That would probably be best, since the stance and everything else will have to be figured out before you know how much room you will have.

You might need some custom build exhaust

dont u need the turbo k member?

JasonWW

Nope.

I actually forgot about that. There won't be a lot more room on the sides due to the tire being there, but that will create some extra space.

What I was refering to was in front of the engine. There's plenty of room for long tubes and mufflers there.
