Default Need headers. Got questions

Hey guy i need some headers that are atleast 1 3/4 stepped to 1 7/8ths.

What are my options?

I know of Kooks and the LPP's which are not available anymore. Are there any others? kooks are a little pricey in my opinion.

Those are the classic "eBay" headers that there are so many threads about. They are basically LPP knock offs. If you try ordering from jdmcenter.com, they will cancel your order a few days later because they don't have those anywhere now. There is another option, OBX makes a very nice copy of the kooks version with 3.5" collectors. But....they are sold out everywhere right now for the nest month or two. I'm sure if you wait, you may be able to find some used ones. I think that edelbrock made some for a while too.

Okay guys the OBX headers are not stepped they are 1 3/4. that's what they told me when i contacted them.

American racing doesn't make LT1 headers from what i can find. Texas speed only has the Hooker headers, pacesetter, and stainless works. and they are all 1 3/4 from what i can tell.

any idea when LPP will be making headers for Lt1's again?

OBX are stepped 1 3/4 to 1 7/8ths with 3 1/2in collectors pretty good copy of the kooks They are on back order for atleast 30 to 60 days So if you need em before thats look at kooks or maybe hooker super comps both twice the price though Theres pictures in the OBX headers thread on here lol
