Eldebrocks. They are a stepped, and they work great.. I haven't seen anything else with the same features, for the same, or less $$..

The features are a race merge collector, 1 3/4 to a 1 7/8, and the collector comes out to a 3 1/2" opening. they are easy to install, and the Y is only $100 at Jegs.

TSP, Dynatech Stepped or Edelbrock are probably your best bet.

A sponsor is apparently "developing" some SS headers at a REASONABLE PRICE - but they will be too late for my build, certain sponsors have the Edelbrocks, and there are the various iterations of the "headers that shall not be named", and I am looking closely at all of them.

I really wish somebody would step up with a $300-$400 complete set of stainless steel 1 7/8" headers and aluminized Y pipe with all the ancillary doo-dads, and then throw the weight of their reputation as a good shop behind them.

I'm pretty sure it can be done, I have cash in hand, and they'd own the LSx world as far as headers are concerned.

That would be stupid for anyone to sell a complete set with a y-pipe for that low.
