I thought there was a different way to get them @ a cheaper forum price. Also, I am not hooked up to purchase things off ebay.

PM sent... You might want to check your DMV/Emissions laws concerning Headers in CA.

The ones sxe60 are referring to are cheaper than the current version, it depends on shipping costs I suppose. I’m not sure if that guy is offering an X Pipe or not…. We're assuming that he either bought all the old stock OR he's somehow getting the original ones made for him.

Did anyone notice if they are SUS 321 also?????

Are you talking about the place in San Diego? They're somewhat local to me so I have been contemplating contacting them about their refund policy so I can test fitment.

I noticed they don't allow will calls so I've been trying to think of other options.

This is the picture that makes me worry. This is a pic of the F-body headers and they sweep back farther than Vette's do and it appears these will barely clear my mounts.




I think I may just have to redo my mounts.

Thanks Tim! While you're in there can you take a look at your motor mounts and see if they match the ones in the pic above? I really appreciate it.

Thanks to Tim, I've got some headers to test fitment with. I'm gonna have to pull the tranny to get the headers to seat all the way on the head but that was expected seeings how I'm running a F-body tranny. The measurments so far suggest they are going to be to wide but until I can get them to seat all the wasy I won't know for sure. They definitely won't clear the frame side of the motor mounts.

These came from another member that had fitment issues but yes they are from SSAC.

FYI: I will not be using this X-pipe if I end up using the headers so they may end up for sale.

I'd like to publically thank Tim for giving me the opportunity to test these headers out on the Nova. Unfortunately, they aren't going to clear my very narrow frame rails on my C4 front end.

I'd leave ya positive trader rating but I am guessing this site doesn't have it.


One last pic..........for the road

tstar also had connections at one time that he could twist the right person's arm and get better prices, you may want to try dropping him a line.

This reminds me my new SSAC headers look nice... but would look much better in the engine compartment rather than on the shelf... spring project.
