I have a set of 16 ga. stainless steel 6.0 direct fit headers i was wanting to use for my turbo kit instead of the stock 6.0 manifolds. its 304 stainless steel. the turbos or turbo will be braced so there will be no weight on the headers but im seeing a lot of guys going manifolds. I know there isnt really a difference in performance but the headers do look better. With flex pipe at each header flange would you think i would still have to worry about cracking due to heat?

Truck manifolds will hold up way better, plus some have tried to make 6.0 truck headers fit, and they don't fit as well as manifolds.

Truck manifolds have gone low 8s and made ~1500rwhp. Its what I'm going with.

Thats somthing to think about i figured since its a direct replacement i would not have any issues on fitting. Well i should have my motor in a matter of a week or 2 and when i get my k member then the test fitting will commence.

The nice thing about the headers is you could cut off the 3 bolt flange and weld on marmon flange to use a band clamp.

Just a consideration.

Lamont, my understanding is that cast manifolds can handle a lot more heat, and will hold up better long term. But I'd like to see somoene use shorty truck headers and then keep us posted whether yours crack.

Now john i thought about that but the thing is i got the cast manifolds jsut incase the headers do crack so i dont know if im gonna cut of the flanges like sscam68 mentioned but that really was a thought . I have thought about that. John your not going to the street car chaos today its 10am- 6pm come check out our mustangs we have 1 single turbo and 1 twin turbo and 1 supercharged. Our trailer is Boostmasters. We are setting up a race with some guys from the city.

I worked hard all week so I could spend all day babysitting our one year old so my wife can go get her hair and nails done.

You can always see what happens, I was always curious to see what would happen. I have a set of truck mani's on my car and a spare set as backup.
