HEADERS! Knowing that members of LS1Tech only run the best equipment, i was wondering what you run for headers. What are the gains, ease of installation, cost... I am going to be doing more work to my car but Im starting here. Let me know what you run and how happy you are. I am thinking about the SLP long tubes, any comments. Thanks.

I'm ordering the QTP headers with the y-pipe and the electric cutouts. I have read alot of posts and I have seen the least complaints with these headers even though i know that GM Q&A isnt the best! These headers are pricey!!! But I think i'm going to get my moneys worth. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> just my .02 <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

Also this needs to go to the external section <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

I'm currently running FLP headers...

Through ORP's, then through the SLP dual-dual... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Sounds great..

I would go with SLP's, QTP's or FLP's.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Welcome to the board! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> I cant speak from experiance because I dont even have headers yet but from researching on this board the Hooker long tubes seem to be the popular choice. And I think they are around $600 or so w/out y-pipe so they'll leave ya with some more loot! <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

Grots are the best. I have the 1.875" and they are sweet looking; but I want to switch back to 1.75" headers. They went out of business and now the Grot design is marketed by several sponsors.

I just ordered 1.75" PPC headers as they look identical to the grot design <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> and the photos of the Y-Pipe look awesome. QTP has the grot design their dual cut-out Y-Pipe is killer for a max effort set-up.

FLP & SLP make an excellent product if you want interchangable cats & straight-pipe. FLP is more top-end power (still good midrange) and SLP is a good header for a bolt-on street (very good midrange but top end is not as strong).

Moving to the EXTERNAL Engine section since headers do not touch oil.

"IF OIL DOES NOT TOUCH IT, IT IS EXTERNAL"

BTW, I use QTP's.

Here's what the PPCs look like...

BTW... as Ragtop99 eludes to, stay with 1.75" primaries for a stock shortblock and up to mild cam & heads.

BlackHawk, if you're interested in the SLP's, I may could save you a few dollars: https://ls1tech.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...c;f=7;t=009592

FLP Headers with no convertor and SLP dual exhaust with cutout. A good combination, but I kow there are many to choose from. Good luck in the selection process. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

i would avoid FLPs ...mine were expensive and bang alot!

I think I'm getting PPC's in the somewhat near future! After reviewing the different header brands I managed to pick the most expensive one again, but the kit's are almost 100% complete save for O2 simms and they include a cat Y-pipe.
