Default Best prices on headers?
WHo currently is offering the best deal on stainless LT headers? How about ceramic coated? While I got the engine out, may as well do ahead and get 'em. For whatever set you decided on, could you let me know what trtade-offs you considered before selecting the ones you did?

I have a '92 Vert and I''l be upgrading the cam to CC 304 or maybe a 305, possibly one from LPE. I'll not be swapping out the intake or anything like that. I'm torn between the $$ for Port and Polish of the heads and the LT headers. I was thinking about some shorties, but it seems the consensus around here is the LT is the way to go for headers.

Since I'm sure I'll be under 450 HP, wouldn't 1-5/8 headers be better? Still 539 isn't a bad number!

You wanted the best price. The 1 3/4" Hookers are the most popular and have the best price. 1 5/8" headers will cost you $300 more than the 1 3/4"...

I did a search on LT1 and for 92-95
It came up with http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...er+Competition
And these decode to shorty, following the footnotes, number 170 I believe.
What Search criteria did you use?

The 2151 are the long tubes add the -1 for ceramic coated They are listed as 84-90 with no smog attachments. But they will fit the LT1. Do a search on the forum there are a lot of posts on this...
