Beretta/Lumina Headers

Ok, I know EVERYONE on this site has asked a THOUSAND times before about headers for our cars..and the answer is always 'don't make em'. I already know what you guys are gonna say to this..but a friend of mine is DEAD-SET on thinking that headers for a V-6 Beretta or Lumina will fit thirdgen V-6's. I'd be inclined to agree on the Beretta, seeing as it looks like it has a smaller engine bay and apparently they sell headers for it, and it uses our engine....but I know someone's had to have already thought this up. Just wanted to ask you guys...this is one situation where I'd LOVE to be proven wrong!

well it's a fwd car. I haven't actually looked at much of the routing for piping on thsese but i believe it goes up and around the engine and then down, unlike our cars that go more or less straight down. The exuast pipes including the headers would most likely be trying to keep the same stock setup, therefore pushing the exaust up and around the engine still, and wouldn't have the correct down angle to benefit us at all.

Actually Nix your wrong. Someone DID make them.

To the guys that ordered them, I finally got another hole saw biit that took twice as long to come in then they told me. So far I havw 3 sets made up (REASON only 3, my car was on stands in my garage for almost 2 weeks waiting for clutch parts) I have already cut 2 sets worth of flanges today. This coming week 3-4 sets should be going out.

My apologies, man..I totally left you out! I'll be more than likely getting in touch with you on a set of headers once I get my exhaust done man..until then I'm strapped for cash and don't want to make promises.. And hey, what are you gonna call them? Every good part needs a sticker to go along with it you know..I plan to cover my car with em!
