I assume you are looking at the F-body headers? You might do a search. We have had really good luck with them. Nice fitment and power gains without the high price of stainless. If you have any other questions and we can get you fixed up. We have them on the shelf and ready to go!

The only issue I have seen with these Headers is they sit very close to the steering knuckle. We installed them in a Firehawk with a 402. Steering locked up on the header. Installed Poly mounts and it seemed to have fixed the problem. I still think they are to close, but the customer seems to be ok with it.

I've had them on my WS6 for about two months. So far no problems, no fitment issues and the install went very smoothly, also bought their ory. Everything went together great!!

only issue i had with them was the left collector when bolting up to my TSP true duals was really really close to the floorboard. It will knock the floor if i start off with a little bog and the motor torques. Other than that..... no complaints.

Although i sometimes wonder if it cost me a few horses compared to some ARH or Kooks, but i am sure if could not be anything major they are a very nice piece.

I've 1 7/8ths on a 99 Camaro and like them a lot. No issue with the steering knuckle, though I've poly mounts and a UMI k-member which lifts the engine a bit.

Overall great for what it is, a middle ground 1 7/8" for those who don't want to put down the cash for stainless, but want the increase over a 1 3/4"

The steering knuckle issue is easily fixable with some poly mounts. Since these are a 1 7/8" header the cars have to have good motormounts or they will not fit like intended.
