Default 88 suburban with a 6.0

I am putting a 6.0 out of an early model 07 2500hd pickup. I hav efound many sets of headers on here for sale at good prices. Will long tube headers for a camaro or a GTO or a firebird, and so on work for my application? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why try car headers instead of headers for '00-'06 pickups?

you need to check out www.ls1truck.com Schoenfeld is making a swap header for your application for 249$ painted or 475$ coated. http://www.schoenfeldheaders.com/LS1-TRUCK.htm everyone seems to be very happy with them. Im fixing to order a set very soon.

Probably not. You will most likely have to spend some money on something, that you know from previous posts, that will fit.

ALL your answers are at the forum I posted. But, no f-body headers will not work without modifications...
