LT headers
Hi all. I want to put long tube headers on my 03 coupe. I'll be installing them myself. I dont care about brand or having the most gain. What i would like to know is what set of headers bolts up with the least amount of hassle and with the most consistent fitment. more importantly, I dont want to put a dent in the header to clear the steering shaft. when you do that, the internal diameter is f*****. that just seems asinine, do you have to do that with every brand?

I have LG motorsports. Fit and placement is good. I installed on jack stands. Driver side slid in from bottom and passenger side I dropped in from top with valve cover removed. The starter was is my way to come in from bottom on passenger side... wish I would’ve known this before wasting time dropping the subframe for the extra 1/2” of clearance that didn’t matter in the end.

I used 6 ton stands and had the car 23” in the air. I’d say I needed all of this clearance. Keep in mind, this is just my experience with LGs... not sure what clearance other systems would need.
