On the shelf Twin Turbo Headers

I,m sure this must have been done before,but after hours of checking Google and reading people build posts,l thought l would just ask....

Am looking for "On the shelf" SBC Twin Turbo Headers for 87 TA.
I,m in England so need Headers l can just order, that work,fit, not China rubbish or cost a fortune.
It costs almost as much shippin n tax,as the items and thats without trying to return crap.
CXRacing keep popping up,but so does their bad press.

So help please
Thank you
Andi

No china cheap bolt on...these don't mix
A thoroughly engineered quality part not copied by chinese won't come cheap.

The best option would be Bank's turbo manifolds

Re: On the shelf Twin Turbo Headers

Stainless works sells some.

However you have to fabricate everything else in the system as there are no true kits, so why not just fab your own set

Re: On the shelf Twin Turbo Headers

I should say,l dont expect"bolt on n go",and can handle some fab work just not good enough to do headers.
Got no AC and alts been moved anyway as running a small Procharger.
Why the change to twin T,one to go faster and sencondly, l live in England so l have ship from the US.
If can find a good set of headers it will be the only thing l need to import as apposed to a complete procharger kit.

Re: On the shelf Twin Turbo Headers

the cx racing up and foward headers are pretty darn decent , just be away of possible fitment issues if u have heads with raised ex ports and a raised valve cover rail if ur using tall valve covers

Re: On the shelf Twin Turbo Headers

The CXRacing stuff looks good,look like a good fit and are well placed if used with the 90 elbow.is their stuff rated now.
Seen some older reviews for other types of car and people complained of fitment issues,and then this issues of where they are made.
Looks like it could be down to finding someone over here to make me some,as l want to aim at 1000 hp in time.
