ok, i already know hawks has the lt setup for the ls1 conversion, but i really don't want to spend 1400 bux for pipes. anyone know of anyother company that has lt headers for the ls1 setup that will fit a tubular k member using the stock spring setup>??

 

that or custom is basicly your only options, but i have to say the hawks set up is really nice.

custom, thats it if you dont want to spend a grand for headers and y-pipe. but in the end you will spend about a grand anyways if you build a high quality system

 

Also if you support the existing thirdgen suppliers they can afford more R&D to make us yet more products.

I went with teh stainless works through hawks and I'm impressed with the build. I'm not completely finished yet, but the driver's side header looks pretty close so I might make a heat sheild.

Hawks has been great for my swap, dont think I could have done it without their help.

 

i ran some heat wrap around the clutch, and fuel lines right by the header.

Yup! I did just for a regular GEN 1 350 motor! Actually
more like $1300.00!

 

I'm running the Hawk's stainless longtubes and they are GREAT!

 

Pics of my headers

 

just ordered my lts from hawks, can't wait to see em

 

My only concern is how close they are on the driver's side. As of right now, car still in the air, the header is touching the rear break line, and like 1/8 inch from my fuel lines.....

I'm probably going to pull them all down and reroute.

 

That's weird... mine were fine on the driver's side... but the passenger side was about 1/8" away and now its hitting the car sometimes. Sounds like ****... really isn't hurting anything though. I'll probably pull it off this winter and take a BFH to the "framerail" of the car. Other than that they are awesome headers!

 

Well thats interesting, yours is closer on the pass side....I wonder if the headers are slightly different or if my K-member is off.....

Are you using a tubular K-member, I cant remember

 

Nope, stock k-member... headers probably differ a little bit from set to set.

 

WOW!!! i ordered my headers from hawks on either monday or tuesday.... they were at my doorstep on wednesday!!! not even 2 full days!!! super suprised and pleased!!!

 

BRUCE IS THE MAN... any doubters on here??

 

what u guys think, i think they look pretty damn good...

 

Yep, GREAT headers....








Those were mine before dropping it in the car, great quality!

 

i just noticed something, the rear drivers side o2 sensor is really close to the transmission range switch, i'm not sure if an o2 will actually fit there, anyone else see this as a problem?

 

Hehe, welcome to the fitment issues fun.

I've found plenty......

Thats the thing with this game, this stuff is made to work, but nothing actually fits perfectly. Modification is part of speed.
