Headers???

just wondering if anyone thinks it would be a worth while investment, to have a custom set of headers fabbed up? Or is there an aftemarket set that would fit??

None I've heard of. I read somewhere the 03-up had a improved design manifold. I wonder if they would direct bolt in place on the 00-02? What would the gain be?

I'm just thinking lower temps...possible minor HP gains w/ my exhaust.a noticable sound difference, yet not to overwhelming.

the question I ask it - how the heck do you get to them?

LOL!! I hear that! I would hate to guess what it would cost to have Kooks or similar bend up a set of tubes. I can't imagine the time involved to get them to fit.

On our Cobras, the best way to install headers is to just drop the K member while supporting the engine. It's just too hard to get to the bolts otherwise.

Are you refering to the 03-up, Maybe the dealer(not that you didn't think of that), anyone ever try? I bet the cost would mute the point. And stiil, direct bolt on or cat. change too.

I meant how do you get a wrench to them.... looks like you would have to pull the engine to get to it - like 2001LS8Sport said.

I hadn't thought of that, I figured an exhaust guy would know how to do it. I figured Quik would chime in since you have the most experience with dealing with the LS engine. Thanks for the input guys...

Read it wrong, sorry. I have yet to even look under the car. Pretty sad huh, few years back I'd build the car I drove. I guess we all evolve, I walked on all fours back then.:)
