3rd gen ls1 headers
3rd gen ls1 headers any new manufactures on swap headers for the third gen besides kooks and stainless works? any one have a used set i can get off them ? any other ways around the price tag?
has anyone tried the gto headers? or midlegnths. ive had shortys on took them off i now have flow techs on there for the 99 i made them fit but its not pretty. i had to do so much modification its ugly.
I still say the stainless works are worth it at this point... BUT...I really wish someone would step up and make a steel or coated header for half the price. I already have the SWs...but it would still be nice for someone looking to keep a tighter budget.
To answer your question....Everyone seems to have their own experiences on what will fit with "X" amount of modification etc etc. But its not all put together with conclusive info.
I know there are some guys over on thirdgen.org that have done it...and they havent posted how or shown pics... I wish someoen would.
All I know is...I built my own y-pipe to go with my custom crossmember and that was a bit of a pain. The idea of cutting headers and having to mod primaries scares the crap out of me. haha.

i know they are worth it but i dont have that kinda cash. my buddys got themon his third gen swap there sweet but i can afford them. fox body headers still the best bet.
For those with a little bit of fabrication skills, you could always make your own. That's what I did. They turned out pretty good (especially since it was my first try at this). I should have gotten them coated, but when I finish welded everything, the primaries moved a little so I didn't bother. I'll make another set when my car is done.
Not too bad considering all I had to work with was a cut-off wheel and a grinder.
