Finally affordable headers!
Not sure if you guys care but I found these doing a google search.
http://www.vetteheaders.com/servlet/...ng-Tube/Detail
Have any of you guys tried these? For $595 bucks it sounds like a steal. I am gonna give these guys a call on monday and ask what the flange thickness is and see what shape are the ports. If you guys have any other questions let me know and I will ask.

Man you aint kiddin me they do look alike. I am wondering if it would just be cheaper to just order the hedmans. Send them off to get coated then throw them on my LT1. Or maybe it would be cheaper to just get them from McJack's. BTW how do hedmans fit on the LT1 motors. I here the exhaust openings on the Hedmans dont match the LT heads very well.
summit is cheaper to get the hedmans. elites are like $385 usually

Yep...the fact McJack's resells Hedmans has been posted here before. And, unless McJack's is coating in a different way (than "factory" Hedmans), it's a lot of markup.
Plus, the OP's joy must be even higher -- now that a new price threshold has become known!

Guys, I've sat and watched "Jack' weld up custom big block headers myself.
That face plate is no top secret plate. You order up a few from a stamping house, bend the tubes and weld them together.....
The big block ones that I saw had bunch of collector parts that had to be fitted and welded together.
so those that are pictured from McJack aren't too difficult
If you'd like...I'll go ask McJack to make a pair of headers while I do a photo documentary of the process....

If you think LTx tubes are an eye-sore, look at the L98 tubes!
(And, damn Brian, don't you ever get tired of posting pics of your stuff? LOL)
