Have you tried searching on ls1tech: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=28

Maybe Stainless Works has kit. Try them out.

I only know of people taking different application fo headers and cutting them up to make them work. BBC and SBF seem to be good starting points

[Rybar]

I remember Jan Suhr built his own LS1 headers: http://www.protouring.se/ maybe e-mail him and ask him what he used.

I know a guy who has a set that should fit nearly any application. Shoot me a PM for pics.

You can take Rybar's advice and call Al Noe at Stainless Works. He sell's a header kit you can weld up and Frank is running a GP on Stainless Works right now.

Yeah, give Al a call at Stainless Works. He's got everything you need, and good prices too.

If you want to see a sample on how I built my first set of headers, look here: http://www.carcraft.com/howto/0304_head/

Thanks fellas.gonna check them out.My friend called Doug's headers and they told him if he paint4ed the jeep orange and grey and put a big "headers by doug" on his jeep, they would custom build a set for free.Even sending someone to his house to do a mock up to take back to there shop to build his.

I bought a set of flanges and some stainless mandrel bends, looks pretty good I think:

Thanks Ryan,


I did use Hooker U-bends, 1 3/4 diameter and in different radiuses. I used 15 of them to make the headers with 3" collectors. The flanges are from GM. I took me just a few days of work. Then had them ceramic coated in black.

Here they are before the coating.


In the car coated.
