Hi all.
Where can I get headers from at a reasonable price for my Ro LS2?
I think from what I've read we like long headers don't we?
I'm going for power and torque but not sure of the pros/cons?
I know the Fish and AAS do them, but haven't a clue where else?
I can fit myself if I need to.

Been pondering the same for my ls3 but can't afford new ones for over £1k. Was hoping to get used ones and half the cost...

I noticed one supplier is £1600 ish, plus heat shields £30 ish, plus looms at £55 ish each (£110) or £2k fitted plus mapping!

Thats more than a lot. AAS were willing to do headers for £900 (no cats - just my decats altered) but there is a 2month wait and 3day turnaround with me being in London would not work overly well...

What about these xforce ones I here of?
To me, metal is metal. If they are equal length, start at the head and meet the cats, and the same grade material, I don't see the point of paying over the odds for one with a 'W' badge on it..???

If you want long headers, they won't 'meet the cats' as they go through the position of the standard cats.
I bought Pacemaker headers and imported those and a system. Even after VAT and a bit of duty it was financially beneficial. Finding an Aussie outfit to send overseas is the only real barrier, but there are a few. Aussie eBay is worth a look too.

Have a look at the sponsors on ls1.com.au there's dozens to choose from. Tri-Y give the best power and torque despite the fashion for LT 4-into-1 Check out burnstainless.com. #1 in headers. Tech Article: www.popularhotrodding.com/tech/0310phr_jack_burns_exhaust_manifold_header_tech/index.html

I can fit myself if I need to. LT's are for top end power. Tri Y's for low and mid range.

Magic, I would be getting my decats modfied anyway so that would not
Be a problem.
Blownls1e36, could I have ravings details in PM as well pls? I am assuming he might get them headers for vxr8 as well.
Ps. Are you the guy I met about a month or two ago at Mark's at LSV8Power? I was the chap with the black vxr8, tints (and orange calipers - yuk!)

So there is two or three of you maybe more that want headers why don't you do a group buy from Oz and share the shipping pretty sure it would be worth ur while

Sounds a good idea - if someone has the time.
Im up for a group buy, but do not have the time to head up the group buy.
Who wants to commit to doing it?
