There aren't any. Not yet anyway... Don't know what else to tell you, unless you have a bunch of money for a custom set.

Hmm... I know Kooks is in New York, they can make a custom set. Don't know of anything in the Southeast.

Maybe someone in Texas.

Most are going to be around $2000 for a custom set, if not more.

$337.90 about as close to long tubes as your gonna get for the money. I would call Stainless Works if you wanna custom set. My headers from them worked out great.

how much would i loose from using those over a long tube??

here are me mods

Q9 fully forged
LQ9 ported heads
232/234 .595/.598 112 comp cam (and all supporting mods)
ls6 intake
ported f-body T-body
built 4l60e
b&m 3200 stall
NOS dual stage nitrous (125-175 and 50-100)

ALSO WHAT IS THE NUMBER TO STAINLESS WORKS and do they have to have the vehicle there

The extra 5-10hp isn't worth the extra hundreds of dollars for a custom set. The S10 headers are tried and true, you know they will fit, in theory.

shorties work with nitrous??

i have an electric cut out also

I know the guy up in Canada did a turbo setup with the shortys and still ran 10's.

Also, I think Current Performance is cheaper on those headers and mounts than the s10v8 website.

but when your talking turbo... regular manifolds would work just fine

thanks on the tip

Is this a drag truck or street/strip or daily driver?

Nitrous will work with any exhaust but, the more flow the more HP. So 5-10hp in the lower rpm band could be alot more on the top end and with nitrous its like a snow ball effect. If you use the shorties and still want cut outs, I would put them after the trans crossmemmber. Are you going with FI or carb set up?

this will be a street/strip truck.... it also will be FI
i planed on using 1 3" cutout at the Y pipe some where right after the trans. i am looking for atleast mid 10's

Current Performance is suppose to be releasing their long tubes in the next month or so. They figure the price will be around $750

i have talked to him..

he said that they are running into a little hold up and he is not 100% sure when they will be released..

HE DID OFFER TO SELL ME HIS PROTO TYPE but i didn't want to be greedy and hold everyone else up

Jared does good work, if he's coming out with long tubes I'd wait for them. I plan on using his swap stuff for my Colorado in the next year or so. Tax return, oh yaAre you going to tub the S10 blazer, would look good and help hook up.

naw... this will be for street duty...

I'm running an lq9 6.0 with the shorties in my s10 im in the final stages of finishing it up now. The powertrain is done. I would have liked to gone the long tube route if jared had been a year earlier. However for a street driver mine runs really really well. I'm impressed with how driveable the truck is overall.
