Go the "JVT" LS1 header. It's the same header as all the others. It's the brand I purchased & installed. Let me know what you find.Quote:

id be interested if the one pipe you "altered" to fit near the k member wasnt crushed nearly flat....that cant be good for flow
edit, just noticed they are already sold
Yeah, man they didn't last 10 minutes!!! At least someone will get some good usage out of them. Have you had any second thoughts on the OBX headers??? Seem to be the best buy for quality out there.....Quote:

Well then what's next man??? As LS1 owners we have options but it all comes down to what we are willing to pay for a given product. I know texas speed is selling pacesetter ceramic coated headers for under $380.00 on ebay right now.....I can tell you they fit PERFECT and there is no fabrication needed. BUT again they cost at least $376.00 so let us know which way you go. I say go pacesetters WHEN you have the MONEY and just be done with it. With the SS LT's they'll work, but as always you get what you pay for.......so prepare for fabricating...:Ohno:Quote:

I have a pacesetter ory with them and it to some effort to get them to fit
Yep......seems like a minimal amount of adjustment when your saving well over $300-$600 depending on the brand your comparing them to......Quote:

THey both have a nice merge compared to other ypipes.... and of course the best part is they are stainless :) As for the OBX, either the KIT or the Stand alone LT headers seem to be a good choice among alot of the other budget minded f-body folk.
Same exact thing as you. Same Parts, Same issue, same damn effort for the y pipe!Quote:
