Default Who is using Stainless works side pipe LS headers?

I see the ads, yet not one that features an actual car, just the headers themselves.

Has anyone used these?

I have thought about modified hookers but dont like putting the o2 sensor so far away.

They look like "race" headers, with a side dump. Were you intending to use them on a street car?

I assumed they would connect to mufflers like the factory style side pipes, but have never seen anyone use them.

Yes, its for a street car.

This is a picture of the Hedman "side exit" headers. Note the difference in the collector and reducer.

I know the pics look off, thats why I am asking if anyone has actually used them? The picture above is all I can find on the net. But I cant imagine a company would spend all the time and money developing a product and not have one picture of it installed on a car or one customer who can recomment it

Those look very similar to Stahl race headers. They do come out the side and turn into a side tube. I dont know if a side tube made by Hooker or Dougs ect. will bolt on, or if you will have to custom make one.

These are what Stahl headers look like:


They look something like this installed:

I stole those pictures from the web, not my car. But they DO look cool! I have a buddy who has a set laying around. He is going to use them for his C2 race car project, but until then he said I can put some tires on them and have some fun with them at the track. I may just have to do that one of these days!
