FINALY LS1 3rd GEN HEADERS!!!
Ordered the headers w/y-pipe and cats, also ordered his k-member so i'm done spending money for a little while. Bruce is a great guy and answered all my questions and was VERY helpfull. Just FYI the headers have o2 bungs and the ypipe has a set too behind the cats.
Justin
P.S. - mine makes 5 headers ordered so far.

I just got of the phone with them and I was the second person to place an order with them so my set will ship out in that order. I'd say the 10 sets are just for the initial run and they'll continue to make 'em.They're a straight up honest company so it's all good.

i wouldnt have believed it if it wasnt comming from a friend of mine.
just put some 2 1/2-3" adapters and run your own y pipe.
haha order hawks k-member and bmr just comes out with there k-member today, which doesnt look too bad, really different design. All well i still rather go with the Hawks unit just becuase he makes a power rack for it and i know his will clear everything with the ls1(alternator hitting steering).

Justin ...was the issue "(alternator hitting steering)" ever really worked out!!!!!!!!??????????????????????????????????????? ?????????
The thread on TGO about the k-member fitment from hawk was long was long ..but there was never any post with saying it works.....if i remember right the thing was pushed under the carpet and called a day by asking to use the special rack set up??????!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the BMR info.....for sure a new/different "design"...450$
its time to run a big comparo on all k-members
Another Sponsor from LS1 tech is ready to toss out there front and back
coil over kit....
I guess finally everybody picks up on the 3rd gen cars with offering suspension and other parts....
The ls1 swap header is being on alert by another company and i guess the price war can begin!
check the force section here ....bmr k-member puts engine lower...?????????????????????????????????????????? ?????

well good to see the 3rd gens finaly gaining in some popularity, and for the alternator issue i talked to bruce today and he said he got it fixed and that all the new k-members going out wont have the problem. Dont know what was resloved with the issue on TGO becuase i didnt ask.

That thread was about my kmember....The problem was the stock steering was hitting on both sides of the motor (both the alternator and AC). I was able to solve the problem by buying his rack and pinion...luckily I had the r&p mounting tab already on the kmember. I dont know if the kmember without the rack and pinion would work with the steering or not, you would have to call bruce and ask him. It is interseting that BMR came out with a kmember.
Hey 92camaroreallyslow did that rack and pinion mount interfere with the stock steering at all? Like i said when i talked to bruce today he said he fixed the problem with them hitting(at least i hope so).

The mount cleared everything...it was kind of a stroke of luck that I had the mount on the kmember, because when I ordered the kmember it asked if you wanted the rack and pinion mount, and I didnt know what it was at the time so I was like sure why not, thank god i did.
thanks

thanks

thanks

Yea its a good idea to have it on just in case. The mount is below any of the stock steering...but if the kmember was anything like mine, stock steering wont work. Unless they changed the design of the kmember (which i think he was going to do), which is what he might have meant by fixing the problem.
