Stainless Works (SW) headers sold through Hawks Thirdgen. That's a good price for high quality custom made stainless headers. Price out a set of mild steel headers from Lemons and you'll learn to be happy about it. Also, not sure if you noticed but the SW headers come with V-band clamps.

i bought mine years ago when hawks started the ls stuff, the bands were non existant then from them and they sold them with flanges. thats a nice touch.

Re: does anyone make 2 inch lsx long tubes

Yes, it is a nice touch. I have the 2" headers and there are pictures in my thread located in the link below if you want to see them.

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/ltx-...wktrips-2.html

The tube routing is a lot better than the smaller 1-3/4" headers. The 2" headers stay high to the cylinder head and have tons of clearance to starter motor. Downside is the headers don't clear a T56 scatter shield on the driver side so I had to cut a slot in the shield flange for the tubes to pass through. I also couldn't install an O2 sensor on the passenger side without beating on the tunnel. Tons of room for an O2 sensor but the hole was clocked in a poorly chosen position. Now that I'm using a wide-band sensor I just plugged the passenger side hole and it doesn't matter any more.
