Default Stainless Works L98 Headers

Hey guys, I just got done shooting new photos of our L98 headers and figured I would share.

For those of you who are not familiar with them, we offer them in 1-5/8" primaries with AIR tubes and O2 sensor bungs along with a 2.5" Y-pipe that will allow you to hook up to your factory exhaust (w. minor cutting.)

Retail is $1,175.49.

Spark plug clearance is good for each plug and it gives more than enough to fit a 90 degree boot.

Not to Dis Stainless works in any way ay all sure they make a super product but by the time I buy headers cat back upgrade engine to 400 hp fix old suspention stuff seat covers and weather strips I should have bought at least a C5 or possibly a C6 the money is the same just a matter of some here and there or a lump sum one time. This is getting depressing...

Those look great. Wish they were around several years ago when I bought my headers. Stainless rocks.

They were.

You got your TPiS headers around Christmas/New Years of '04.
Al Noe of Stainless Works supported the first of several GP's in
ten months earlier in Feb/04.

Corvette Kid was instrumental in bringing these headers to the
attention of forum members over a period of time. It was a tough
position to take at the time because of the belief back then that
primaries had to be 1-3/4" (or bigger) and that coated pipes were
adequate, no need for the small extra expense for stainless.

Six years later, it would be interesting to hold up a set of coated
pipes beside a set of stainless to see which had weathered the
elements most successfully.

Stainless Works makes a very nice product, I sure enjoy mine.

Wow, I cant believe you found that thread. Not sure how I missed out on the SW headers at the time. I drive my C4 in all weather and the headers have about 60000 miles on them. Still look pretty good. I'd bet the SW ones would look better. I am a big fan of stainless. Good stuff.

Hi I need headers. No A.I.R. fittings and no EGR. Is this possible? Also can I get it without the y pipe you said was included? I run true duals...What would be the price after all the emissions delete/y pipe delete?

Same question I have as well.
Are they set up with some type of flanges to connect them to the dual exhaust?

Do you offer 2.5" lead pipes that would be compatible with the catback and x-pipe shown on the LT1 thread?
