I agree,

Can someone please measure from center to center on the collectors after they're installed, and measure the width of the collector please?

I have a edlebrock Y-pipe that I can measure once I get the measurement for the headers!

Thanks,
Adrian

Hard to imagine this many people buying them and letting them sit around for 6 months without putting them on.

First off, carrsls1_camaro, great thread man. I got a set about 3 weeks ago and finally finished installing last night. I just wish I had seen this thread before hand, I however had to grind the square and the k-member as it was obvious in order for them to fit. I love the way they look, they sound nice. My friends are all drooling over them and love the fact that they are stainless over their ceramic coated which are already rusted. I saved some serious cash with these. $340 shipped for the headers, $35 for 2 24" extensions, and $12 for gaskets, not bad for $387 total. I recommend them guys. But as always go with whatever you gentleman prefer. Just my 2 cents. Have a great day!!!!!

tbick, I installed these without a y-pipe. I will however need to buy one in the future. I also wish that he made some w/o all the emissions stuff. But i guess its nice to have them there just in case.

lol, you get what you pay for. I would like to see how these hold up after some hard driving and about a year or two of time. Those are 321 Stainless, the preferred ones are 304 or 304L.

I have Stainless Works long tubes and the only thing I had to do was lossen the starter to get the pass side in, the drivers side feel right up, no grinding, no nothing. I just can't see grinding the K member to get headers to fit.

Nice to see more people buying these headers. Sorry, I didn't read anything but the original post and this page. Those are some seriously nice welds!

FWIW, texas speeds pacesetter y-pipe will probably work with these headers. The reason I say that is because I was one of the first to buy their TD systems and bolt it up to my Kooks headers. They were only proven to fit pacesetters, hookers, and jet hots since they were the same design. Well, they fit my Kooks, and unless I'm mistaken, the pipes that come off of the collectors are the same as the y-pipe they sell.

Might be a longshot, but how can you lose for $150 shipped. At the absolute worst, sell it back on here and lose $20.

I have a few issues about the fitment but for the most part they seem to fit rather nicely. The header is now hitting the K member and if you did not cut the square off of the block the header would not fit as one of the tubes is running right were that used to be (as shown in the pics). It appears right now that the collector and rest of the header fits really nice and you will most defeneatly need a 24" O2 extention for the drivers sideand a 12" one for the pass side. My headers are only installed for the pics as of now since I am and it is a good idea to replace the motor mounts at the same time as any header install as the stiifer mount will stop the headers from hitting since the motor cann't move as freely. If anyone has any questions whitch I am sure many will I will do my best to answer everyone as soon as I can. Than kyou all for this great site whitch alows fellow F-body people to come torgether and help each other out in all of the mods that everyone wants to do to their cars.

Photobucket has an automatic resize feature, as does tinypic.com. You don't even have to sign up for tinypic.

Not too bad. Was the LG tune a canned one, or did you have your car tuned on the dyno?
