it is like a normal header with a 3" collector

Just noticed they have two versions, up & down both forward.

I think th up forward headers will have better spark plugs access.

not to be rude, but does that tell ya something? Maybe paid just a bit too much? Turbo headers are nothing different than regular headers, just routed in a different way...and they dont even really need to be tuned. So there isnt much science behind most of them.

They fit perfect. I had my hand in the design stages to be sure they fit perfect. I have a pattern set in the shop that have been fitted to make sure they fit perfect. Perks of being me .....

Just remember guys, you get what you pay for.

my truck minifolds will work perfect and for only $20 i cant complain! Sure it doesnt have the "BLING" factor but they should provide lots of power.

^^^+1 thats the route I would go. There is nothing special about turbo headers like said before, just routed forward. In fact they are shorter than most headers so they use less material.It just doesn't make since to spend over $1000 on some shorty headers. Yes stainless steel headers are expensive but thats too far. I guess I understand if its a race or show car. They have a very nice bling effect indeed.

Not to sound dumb but i have a question lol. Im putting together a turbo kit and i thought a tubular header was a must. Then after reading numerous posts on here it seemed like the manifolds were a better way to go, because they retain the heat and such. So my question is, is there a significant gain that can be had with tubular headers or are manifolds just as capable.

setup:

T-76
6.0 bottom end
ported 317's
234/240 587 115lsa
front mount
vic jr
78mm wilson tb
etc...........

I will have some up by the weekend. They are just a pattern set. I got them for test fitting. Being a dealer for them helps out. I have worked with them since day one of this header design. SHould fill a big void in the Turbo Header market for the LS1 Crowd.

Do they keep all accessories in stock location? I know you'd have to get rid of the abs distribution block, no big deal, but would seriously consider getting these if they work with all accessories and I see them in a car.
