Default LT1 Headers input!

What would be the best headers to install on my stock 97 Z28...polished or black in color, and reuires no major modification to anything....preferrably something that will play nice with a true dual exhaust system and all. Mostly a dress up issue, not so much performance. I just want a good quality product that looks good and will stay that way...

If I were you, I'd be watching this thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-modifications/760906-lt1-stainless-headers-poll.html

There are more stainless headers in the works for LT1s, and if they are going to price them like they do their ls1 headers, they will be SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than kooks, and on par if not cheaper than a set of jet hots/hookers or pacesetters. Stainless is the ONLY way to go if you want them to "look good and STAY that way". Even my ceramic coated jet hots are showing rust on the bottom. Take a look at their ls1 headers for an idea of the quality. I am anxiously awaiting the release of these headers.

NO SHORTIES FROM PACESETTER. Let me know if you want the long story. Heres the short. Primary hitting the steering shaft= replace the steering box with 99 Fbody.
