Default Headers/ORY for Cheap As Hell Online

www.jdmcenter.com/product/header-exhaust-y-pipe-chevy-camaro-93-94-lt1-1993-1994

Anyone have any experience with these? 290 is ridiculously cheap for LTs and ORY.

They look like the headers that used to be floating around ebay a while back....that is dirt cheap with the y pipe included. I'd like to hear from somebody who has these too...contemplating replacing my mid tubes.

They seem to be the same as the ebay stainless ones, which I am running. I think I payed $288 shipped.

They look and work excellent. The two points of concern for someone would be the steering shaft and a small part of the k-member.

I had to grind my steering shaft down a bunch around the 1st knuckle and notch the k member. On drivers side and a little on pass side. If you have new motor mounts or aftermarket ones, then you might be good on doing any notching or grinding... Every car is different though.. I can take some pics of the shaft and k member when I get home for you..

If you have a angle grinder for k-member, a wheel grinder for the steering shaft, and are mechanically inclined, then I say it's money well spent on those headers.

Well then, if you can get those pics up that'd be great. Cause that is a hell of a deal. I can do a little grinding to save 300+ dollars. Haha.

Idk. I haven't really searched that site too well but try looking on there. But at that price I wouldn't even worry about it. Haha. Buy the headers + y pipe just in case you need the y.

Well I cannot find my steering shaft, and I had it only last month to reposition the car in the garage for winter. I can't seem to remember what I did with it after that. Searched all over my garage... Even inside. So I'm taking a quick break because I know it is somewhere stupid.. I'll post pics of it once I find it.

Speaking of stupid, I just found my pair of $200 dollar headphones in the glovebox... I thought someone had gotten in the garage and stolen them out of my center console and never checked there..

Here are pics of the K-member, the first 2 are the pass. side, next 2 are drivers side.
As you can see drivers side had to be ground much more.

Also, incase you didn't know, an aftermarket K-member does not need grinding.

If they are the same headers I have they take a little massaging to get in but are worth the money. I doubt they will flow like the Kooks but for 1/4 the price Ill go with them. Mine have been on for over 10000 miles and are still shiny. They havent turned brown like a lot of other guys have.

What's the ground clearance like on these? Are they suitable for a lowered car (1.5")?

Clearence is good, and like outlaw said, the Y-pipe is not the best.. But it works.

Mine are a nice light golden brown after about 3000 miles.
