So some of you know that I just bought the stainless works headers, I was so excited. Other have have been reading the "I want this ls!" thread and saw that the guy who built the turbo on the v6 joined lvc and needs an LS to do another build. Well he's in my area so I'm thinking of doing it,BUT, he told me if the headers were long tube headers then I can't use them, SO, I think I just bought headers and can't use them. I could just bail on the turbo, but it's a great deal he's offering me. :(

only you would call a good deal on a turbo system "a little problem":D
 
Well yeah, the turbo deal is a great part! The bad part is that it's pointless for me to install the headers now and I just bought them. I really wanted to run headers and see how they performed. Guess i'll have to pass them to someone else.

Oh and things got a little better. I took them to fedex the second they arrived yesterday to ship out to jet hot so they could get coated, I was able to catch them right now with the headers still there, so I saved me some money.
 
well now i know both of those things, maybe i should pay more attention lol

Sucks about possibly not being able to use them. I might be able to take them off your hands for you though!

You didn't go to fedex to send me a package did you? :)
 
looking at the other thread it looks like the turbo is mounted at the rear of the car. if thats the case then i dont see why you couldnt use the headers.
 
Since no one has these aftermaket headers, he will be designing the kit with the stock headers. The kits will be made for stock headers so these longtubes wont match up. Maybe he can rig that one up for me after he's done with the general kit.

I hope I dont have to sell them, but I might have to so keep your eyes open.

And bullschmidt, I will be shipping yourl ight out in about 2, maybe 3 hours. RIngs and clear corners are installed, just have to seal them up and wait for them to dry

got it. IMO hold on to them and install after the kit is made.
 
Yeah, I think I'll do that, but if the turbo will be pushing the engine hard enough what would the point of the headers be?
 
it could make the turbo work even better but probably just be more of a cool factor.

Yeah true, we'll see what happens

Buy a second LS :D

If I had the money I'd have an 06 and my 04. :D


how much for them if you sellin em???


700 plus shipping, thats how much I paid, but i wont know if I keep them or not for a few weeks. The turbo wont take long to install, he said 3 weeks. I'm going to give him the car in a few days.
 
even brand new...you cant get the same price back when you resell em!!! ill give you 600 plus shipping!!
 
Fvck you Alax! Why does everything work out so perfect for you!?

Haha just playen, but seriously that is awesome that he is going to build a turbo kit for you... and he lives by you, so perfect man.

I am excited to see the setup, can you visit the build often and take photos of his progress? Or maybe ask him to... I would love to see a log!

They are brand new. The last guy had to sell them before he could do anything and it might be the same for me.

plus it's not for sure I'll sell them.



Yeah, thats why I jumped on them. Saved me a decent amount.

:p I know, I hate my luck sometimes too cause it sometimes come at a bad time. Good appotunity but bad timing, like my wheels. But I can't pass up this turbo offer, just like ai couldn't pass up the wheels on ebay either :D
 
g thanks bullschmidt...next time you come across something you want to buy on here....ill make sure you dont get the deal ur looking for...even if he wasnt goin to give me that price....its the principle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

I checked out how the price before I bought them to see if it would be worth buying or not. He only informed you how much they were from stainless works, not me, i knew ;) A ago when I checked how much they were, they were in the 700's, mybae like 740. They went up 100 and might keep rising.
 
so, since nobody else said it... DIBS if for sale :D

I have a/multiple question(s) about the headers...
Are they direct fit? Will they work with the magnaflow exhaust kit?
