twin turbo headers???

It'll be a little while until i start tearing things apart for my project but I'm doing my research now and was wondering if anyone made twin-turbo headers? If so where can i get them and how much do they cost. I know some companies build twin-turbo vette's but can't remember who to contact them. Anyway, thanks for the help

Stainless works makes them and so does Kooks. Kooks are around $1800.00

i bought stainless works twin turbo headers. mine were 1300.

i had them make them pretty tight (dimentions wraped as small as possible and keeping equal length) and they wont fit without modifacation to the engine bay (strut towers) or changing the header shape. i dont know for sure how much of the strut tower would have to be cut as i have not had a lot of time to put them one of my motorless irocs with an engine to see the clearance issues.

they are built good and look mean as hell, but in order to get them to fit without body mod, then you would have to drop your car off to them and let them have it for a few months.

as far as i know i am the only one who has bought a set for the 3rd gen (i know i was the first), but i might get back with them and see about making a set that will "drop" in. i know mine will fit a ton of rwd gm cars with no problem so i may sell mine down the road if i get a drop in set made.

but it all depends on how much the strut towers have to be cut and boxed. i am building a road race car so strength is important, and modifing the strut towers and keeping them stong is hard, but still possible.

it is expensive, but that is why hardly no one has turbo setups on 3rd gens.

good luck

anthony
