When I was doing my LS install this past summer, I was having a difficult time coming up with headers, especially ones that would work with my Z-Bar and manual clutch. Lots of people had Gen 1 LS header applications, but not so many for Gen 2's. Might by why there aren't many cars posted here.

Anyway, I found that Classic Industries had the largest selection of 2nd gen parts than any other supplier. For this reason I give them my business FIRST!!

Yea, the first-gen is the darling of the aftermarket, but at least with the pro-touring movement good suspension parts are showing up for the second gen. I think we are right on the cusp of the second-gen getting the attention it deserves in the aftermarket. I hope anyway !

Yea, a brake company out of california used my car to build a disk brake system to fit the second gen. The crackheads thought the first and sec-gens used the same spindles ! They sent me their "SECOND GEN" 13" brake system and NO way would it work, so i had to send them my spindles to be modified to fit the brakes. I guess it all worked out in the end, though im still trying to figure out my pedal travel. Too much dead space at the top.

I visited Kooks web site, but could not find the 2nd gen headers. What is their price? I am still building a spreadsheet of the parts (& expenses) to put an LS3 & T56 in mine. Sheesh, looks like its gonna be big bucks so far! Gotta pay to play I guess.

I hadn't checked their site after I got my car back. I don't see them either. Not sure what the lag time is for them to get them on their site after they do a set of headers but it was back in July when they did mine.

Sounds nasty!! I lived in Kyle, TX for a couple years so I am familiar with your area. Did you have a hard time finding any water to put in the radiator?? Been pretty tough there rain wise I hear.
See pic below. Beautiful cars guys! Keep 'em coming!
