Project: L-body headers

[IsaacHayes]

I wonder what the chrome looks like. If it really is shiny like chrome or not. Or just metallic silver if you don't polish it... Either way the gray looks good too. O2 bung would be nice to be lower in where the two pipes merge, but not sure about clearance without having a car there to mock up... A heated O2 would be a must I'd think, with any setup stock or not. Are you going to have EGR port there too? I'm undecided on running EGR on the new motor. I'd like to keep it clean and less crap in the way, but MPG benefit might be worth it.

Did you tweak the flange angle from those pics I sent you? Might want to build the jig to include that measurement....

So is that set sold? I sent a PM to Shane but never heard back. Or is he keeping them now?? LOL As you know I'm going to NEED these come spring.

Those look really nice with the ceramic coating.

X2...

planning on moving the O2 bungs to a more accessible place?

[SappySE107]

Almost time to list them on the store Those look really nice with the ceramic coating.

lol @ gar...


Well got the loner headers cleaned up and this is the aluminum-colored ceramic. We also have chrome and black, but a few other colors are available...

looks good. im havin trouble focusing on them with the twin turbo 3500 vvt in the backround. im drooling on my keyboard.

[robertisaar]

damn... not bad.

too bad equal length tubes would be tough/impossible to pull of in a L-car...

MY91GT(Z), again, I am sorry about the delay, but opening a new shop took 2 weeks out of my life

Here's what I got as of about 20mins ago when home...

S&S has Alero headers as a stock item.

They are what the others are modifying to fit everything else.

I have them on my Beretta.

[nixtux]

I'd get a set if they would fit a 99' Alero and S&S doesn't have a set. I sent them a e-mail but haven't gotten a response yet. Probably can't afford a set until Nov 7th anyway so no hurry.

[torq455]

wonder what a set would cost for a 3.1 J-body with a 4T65E.....that would be interesting.

[johnnymossville]

Once you get the angle right on the rear header, to get it to fit the 3t40 you have to slightly ding the #1 tube so that it will clear the speedometer drive housing.

[IsaacHayes]

J and N body (pre 99) should fit with these though. Those cars share a lot of stuff.

[Sidewinder]

It would be cool to see these fit 1st gen and 1.5 gen W-Bodys without modification or with minor modification compared to the S&S headers. Make them a MUCH better choice for us W-Body owners.

[bszopi]

The main reason the S&S have to be reworked for L-bodies as nothing to do with the front header, but everything to do with the rear header. Therefore, this may not work with many other body styles. The late model N-bodies have the header going over the steering rack, whereas with the L-body, it must go under the steering rack. So depending on the various body styles, the rear header will probably be different for each body, as well as between years.

[MY91GT(Z)]

these headers were modified to fit over 3t40 its the old style 91 older 5spd trannies are what has the slight issue which may be the same issue that asylum is sayin but im also not sure what johnny did to these headers to get them to fit
