Prettiest $300 I've spent in a while
brand spanking new in the box
( Yes I know I have it laid out wrong, but I had to be able to fit it in the pic)

Those look really nice. I'm looking to get a set for myself soon. I've been wanting to see how well the inside of the y-pipe merge looks. Could you shine a flash light up the y-pipe and get a pic of how the two tubes come together? I'm mostly curious on how cleanly and well matched the hole in the one pipe is that the other merges into.

These headers are FTW, even if you do decide to bash the #1 primary in for fitment (there are other ways to make them fit). Can't go wrong for $300!!

for a minute there i thought that you were the ******* that outbid me on a set of dynatechs on ebay the other week.
My 2 minute left dick-bid didnt work lol.
Nice anyways, were those on ebay or did you get them off another person? or did you use DNAmotoring's store on ebay?

If they are the headers I am thinking about, they require A LOT of modification to clear everything. They especially hit the steering knuckle and k-member. I had to dent the #1 primary and I had to clearance the k-member to get them to fit. Hopefully you don't have as many issues as I did. Btw, get some poly motor mounts before you install the headers, they are a must!

My experience with these headers.
Heated the first primary to cherry red and beet it in about 3/8 of an inch. By using heat it was easy to dent and formed nicely. Just a daily driver so it didnt matter to me. honestly dont think it retricts much anyways. clears the steering knuckle probly 1/4 inch with no grinding on the knuckle. they also rub the body on the lower passenger side but no modification was needed to get that side to fit in. no problems or noise has resulted yet. i have a tubuler k member so clearence for that was not an issue. hope this helps. Overall i'm very happy and would do it again. For being as cheap as they are I actually thought the quality was great. Flanges were completly straight on mine.

Im running those headers aswell. I have a post about them. I quite like them. They did require abit of massaging (by that i mean beating with a hammer) to fit 100%. but that was all worth it. I also scrappy the Y-pipe that came with it in favor of one that i fabricated (i also have a post on that) GL

I measured everything on mine (same headers) before I threw them on. https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...xperience.html

The KOOKs copies are the "OBX" and "SPEEDDADDY" headers.
Regadless though its good information. I just wanted to verify that these actually measure out to a full 1 7/8 step and it appears they do.
A guy got the "eworldsales" Pacesetter non stepped style which were advertised as 1 3/4 and they ended up being 1 5/8, which would thoroughly **** me off.
