I just wanted to get some ideas for headers. What have people used and where did the get them? I have done some searching, but want some more input. I am looking for buget friendly. So tell me what you've used in your Nova or 1st gen Camaro/Firebird.
Thanks

I was just looking at the Edlebrock LS1 conversion headers pn EDB-65173. They look pretty nice. $362.00. ceramic or Ti-Tech coated. What is Ti-tech?

What motor mount plates did you use? Do you have the power steering box?

I used the Carshop 1" setback plates. It puts the trans in the stock location so you can use the factory trans crossmember and driveshaft if you want. My car had PS but I did change over to a manual gearbox. The headers literally drop right in. Even the drivers side fits through the top around the gearbox.

Wow, that did not happen with my sbc headers, or bbc headers

My LS1 is far easier to work on than my SBC was. I can swap plugs in 15 minutes. Every bolt is easy to get at.....cant even imagine a BBC in it.

Did you order the coated, or non-coated, and how have they held up? Thanks again, nice to have someone reply to these header threads. Kind of expensive items to hope they fit

I have been down the road your going down now as mine is done. I am cheap and got the non coated ones....they just come painted black. They have been on my car a year now and still look good.....no issues at all. If you have any questions/problems at all...feel free to send me a PM.

You can save a few bucks buy calling Summit or Jegs and giving them this site.

They have the headers for 509.99 and Jegs or Summit will beat that price. That what I did.

Just an FYI, it looks like retolsx has a stainless set of headers coming out in the next few months, and they might be around $600. Not too bad. I think I am going to wait and see the actual price and try these out.

I just found that Dougs makes some. p/n D3337-R Summit has them for $458.69 and Jegs for $474.99. I just ordered the same ones from ebay for 419.99. I will let you guys know when they come in.

So, are those coated?

74novacustom

The pic is of coated ones. But the price is for uncoated (raw) ones.

Depending on how much power you're trying to make and how low you want to go, Speedway Motors has nice looking set of shorty headers they sell coated or uncoated. I'm planning on getting them because I'm more worried about ground clearance than dyno numbers.
