Default Who makes headers for an LS1 swap

I am considering replacing the engine in my 1986 vette with an LS style engine, who makes headers for this swap? I know Melrose does but I am looking for something with larger tubes then 1-3/4", are there any other options?

I hope you find what you need. How big do you want to go?

I wanted a header size of 1-7/8 for the 427 I am building.

Thanks for the info, I am aware of them and have used them in the past for various items.

I am not aware of anyone else that makes C4 swap headers. I will end up going with Melrose myself. Right now I'm running 98 Corvette stock manies. Let me know if you find something else please.

Have you asked Merle at Exotic Muscle? Besides ARH, I was thinking they were the only other ones mentioned for building custom 1 7/8" for L98/LTx motors. Maybe they've had a request for LS too.
