Yep yep! They look great. I think BY FAR the best bang for the buck in LS1 headers.

I dont understand the "weld on" part. I want "race" headers with no hookups, just straight pipes with no holes or bungs for anything. Is that how they come and you drill a hole then weld the bung on if you want?

Sounds like an excellent alternative to pacesetters "race" style. Anyone know where I can find pics of these LS1 headers, I mainly want to see the Y pipe.

There was another thread very recently in which
at least two sponsors posted pricing, which was
very reasonable.

How do you attach the collectors to the header tubes without leaks?
From the picture it does not look like there is enough room to weld completely around each header tube.

Test fit them and then weld a bead around each primary. then push the collector on and weld up to the bead. There is enough room.

There are no leaks on the merge collectors on my Edelbrock's. They've got great ground clearance, make plenty of power, easy to install, and are priced reasonable.
