Pro-fab makes DSE ' s headers but I'd be willing to bet they have an agreement to sell at the same price since DSE spent all the time and money to design and develop them.

I'm sure they are nice pieces, but really...$2500 and that's 3rd party profit.

They're not quite $2,500, have you priced any high quality SS LS headers? I'll bet the Lemons aren't going to be cheap either.

Well there you go, if they fit you're good to go.

Which stainless works are you using? Not sure if this matters but I found some pics of SW wayne due subframe headers installed in dse subframe. I know the first gen stuff is different but maybe it may work for you. I just ordrered a dse sub & have been digging for headers as well. I currently have a wayne due subframe & will test fit my old SW headers to confirm. My thoughts were if they make headers for 2nd gen w rack & pinion you just might luck out on fitment. Keep us posted.

Is there more than one Stainless Works? I really want the DSE headers, I would pay probably $1500, but I just can't do $2300+ship

DSE headers only work if you use the setback mounts. Otherwise you will have to source headers. A number of guys are running the Ultimate Headers. Very nice piece. They are not full length but no clearance issues. Dont remember what trans your running but if it is a 6 speed get the ATS crossmember from Speedtech.

This one?

My understanding is that you need a 1st Gen crossmember. The DSE subframe rails are same for 1st & 2nd gen.

I'm yet to test fit my engine & trans.
