Default headers for c-4 LT 1

Is anyone aware of a company making headers for the LT-1 besides McJacks Corvettes. Would be interested in a good used set. Thanks for any info

Check out C4 tech - lots and lots of options.
I have stainless works on mine.

I think I read something where one of the vendors was having a group purchase.

I won't roast TPIS again because, perhaps, they may have better quality control. So I'll just say if you were to get TPIS, before you start cleaning up the weld beads with a die grinder, make sure the bolt sleeves line up correctly spaced and perpendicular to the heads.

Melrose is the only way to go on a C4 IMHO.

My vote is for.....
Exotic Muscle - Good quality product for the $$$$. I've been running a set of their headers on my 92 autocrosser for 5 years & they still look good.

TPIS - At least in the past the fit was POOR, overall quality was fair.

Hooker - One size fits all - Ain't for me.

Stainless Works - I have no first hand experience but seem like a great quality product BUT .... Stainless will give you much higher under hood temps when compared to a ceramic coated.

Melrose - ?? Again no first hand experience but certainly appears to be a good product

C'mon guys. There was nothing wrong with the TPIS headers that I could not fix with the BFH, die grinder, and welder. You guys are harsh.

I had good luck with exotic muscle headers and they were ceramic coated.
