It seems like some F-body shorty headers would work, or some truck headers. I was thinking of going with some truck headers, I have a hawks K-member on order so I should have a little more room than stock

shorty's dont flow much better then the stock manifolds. The hawks headers fit great, i had no issues at all and it tucks awsome. My car is lowered about an inch and i scrap very rarley on the y-pipe, not the headers. I have a pair of 01-02 manifolds if anyone is intersted.

On the other hand, if you've really been hearing the school level stuff a lot maybe it's time to get the message and pick up a book.
Repeating monkey-spank you've read on other boards is lame...step away from the keyboard and get some experience of your own.

As you're researching your (probably nonexistent) swap and trying to sort thru all the noise, you'll notice there is a lot of garbage mixed in with what you're looking for. Posts like yours, sharing unverified 2nd-hand information, are worse than no info at all.

I'll admit I have a tough time interpreting bad spelling & grammar into legible English.
No thanks. Go ahead and respond if it'll make you feel better, I'm done. I sure hope you don't get "ban" either, that would be a huge loss...nobody to tell us about un-named other boards where someone of questionable ability had problems making a part fit.

crainholio. none of the talk started until you posted.
As for other people having fitment problems. Thats the nature of hot rods and after market parts. Sometimes things dont fit perfectly and you have to modify either parts or your ride to make everything work. Its the nature of the beast.
The headers I received dont fit MY car perfectly. However, they fit, and thats whats important.
So for people that did read past all that, and are looking for headers on a thirdgen. Go with Hawks or something custom, 4th gen stuff won't fit.

my hawks didnt fit at all.
had to cut a large portion of my bellhousing on my th350 on each side.
bang the frame in on the passenger side, relocate fuel lines, brake lines, etc.
bruce said they were close.... but when the header was bolted up, it was pushing hard against my lines, i couldnt even snug the header up. the 02 bungs are useless. no room for an 02 sensor.
these headers would be an extremely tight fit if you had a powerglide or a th400 in the car.
im sure they were built off a t5 or t56 setup, where there is more room.
i dont doubt that.
for the price, and the quality, it was worth it.
when you buy one of the 1st ten sets of headers, you cant expect them to fit, or the man selling them know where and what they dont fit on any given car.
good luck guys.
lets keep it on topic.
they are on, and ill have my y pipe welded up tomorrow.
holidays will be hard to get to the track, it may be a couple of weeks for some results.
i hope they pick up some et for me!

For those interested, don't make the same mistake I did. I've got a 2000 LS1, and wanted to get the 01+ manifolds because of !EGR and they are supposed to be the ones to get.
Well I got them in.. They are identical except that the holes for EGR are not cast. I've still got to get AIR block-off plates (doh! forgot about that). I'm thinking about just buying the three piece set of plates and not even taking the 2000 manifolds off the engine.
I thought the 99 and 2000 manifolds were the same, so the only difference between them might be needing a $4 block off plate.

TJ, you should post up some pics from under the car when you get the Y Pipe made, I would really like to see how they are done. I'm gonna take my car somewhere to have teh header back exhaust done so pics might be good to take with me. What did you do with your o2 holes if you said you didnt have room, im curious about that as well.
shr00m, my 2000 already had the EGR blocking plate on it luckily, dont forget to turn it off in the ECM too!

mine didnt bolt on perfectly... thats not to say the next set wont.
with any part there is always a lil fabrication involved.

ill get some pics up this weekend for you.
got a front seal leak on the converter seal, so if you see some gunk in the pics... its tranny fluid.
if a th350 aint leaking, it aint running right.
hehe.

i wont decide until this stock motor lets go, then ill build the new one to fit.
nitrous is so much cheaper, tho filling the bottle gets pricey over time.
turbo is free once bolted up.
