Yes they do. Sorry I am slacking on pics.

So does the driver side header clear for the truck accessories?

Josh, you have a hand with the up & forward ones too or no?

How is plugs access with those Stainless Works headers compared to OFI headers?

Would they be direct swap for OFI with no fitment issues?

I really wish that the accesories were on the car in the pics above, but I get the idea.

Nope. There are several diffrences from the OFI headers. Plug access is decent. It is still tight, but having a tight engine bay doesnt leave much in the way of room as it is.

That really isn't true. Turbo headers do need to matched to your application; and it's just as important that they are made out of stainless material and a thicker diameter tubing so they don't crack. The heat present in a turbo header is greater than a standard or supercharged application.

Josh, Do you have pics to post or you could PM me on this in a kit. I have been talking with Matt (rs ss69) about this kit and he works at the shop I get all my work done at and he talked about a kit that works with out losing your ac. I definatley am interested and my WS6 Project will be starting in about 1-2 months and I definatley will be going with one of your systems. I am just trying to find all of your options and kits that you offer.

If you want to PM me all of your kit options and prices that would be awesome. I did get your PM to your webpage. thanks

Just an FYI since someone bumped this thread. ONLY the $12XX down/forward stainless works headers fit in a 4th gen Fbody.

The up/forward version for $9XX are built for early model cars. They do not clear our fender/shock towers.
