Default Header question

Who sells long tube coated headers for 94 LT1 vettes? All the catalogs have are F-body headers or shorties. Also what is *gasp* involved in the install?

The popular ones here are TPIS, Exotic Mussel, Stainless Works And Hooker and I think Kook's is also making them for c4's also.

I have a set of EM headers... It will take a few hours of work. removing the stock manifolds, plugs, wires, ASR and a few other things needed to be moved out the way.

The hardest part is removing the factory exhuast pieces that have to go! A couple of the catalytic converter mounting bolts were a PITA on my header install.

That's what you need to get the cats off. I have no lift and it took me three weekends to finish the job with the car on jackstands.
