Default C3 LS1 Side pipe Headers

Anyone know if any of the Header manufacturers offer a header for LS1 in a C3 of the side pipe style.
I have heard of someone buying the SBC headers and cutting them up and mating them to an LS1 style header. Seems a waste of money, though.

I took my hooker sidepipes and cut off the flanges and welded ls1 flanges on to them,took sometime fitting them,but work perfect.Already had the sidepipes so it wasnt a waste of money really.

Same here. Otherwise you're probably going to have to have a custom set made or go with some that use a stock style exhuast manifold instead of full length headers.

American Racing headers now has LS headers for side and under car exhaust. Not the cheapest but they are quite nice. They did a complete exhaust system for my car and it is great.

Check out Keen corvettes. They just developed this for C2's. The header is a fit on the c3, and maybe the rest, too.

I have a set of Street and Performance coated block huggers 13/4 tubes that they manufacture. I want $300 shipped. If your interested I can send pictures. Shipping might be a little extra to New Zealand. Google Street and Performance in Mena Arkansas. Give them a call.

Detroit Speed sells a set of Hooker header for side mount pipes. The cost for the headers alone is about $2600 for the set. These are stainless steel.
