Well now where do I start, Life I guess happens this old pile of mine has been sitting patiently, well we did buy a new home for little more room and enough space to build a shop its 30x30 with a lift I figured I had to do this so when I retire I have a place to play with cars so in 2012 we built it, insulated it, roc'd it(UGH) painted and bricked it. I did buy and install a DSE subframe and that has made me re-engineer the exhaust that I had installed
old sub out and new sub in
also got fuel system in and plumbed
then a good friend had a wreck in a ZL1! so...(always thought that it would be great parts car! well it was but its not going in this car :BlahBlah:

sad to say it was totaled! I looked into what I'd have to do to put a LSA in a first gen and I've seens several cars that its been done to so I looked ito other options like fixing the wrecked car, So while looking for a parts car on Copart, I was surprised that even wrecked 6 cyl camaro's bring a good bit of coin, I found this car stripped of engine, trans, tires, wheels, brakes and seats and instead of doing bodywork (I'm not that guy) it was more mechanical and right up my alley! I have to say I learned alot about the newer body Camaros! now I got the power and the complete suspension package of a ProTouring car that is LatG worthy and I am loving it! the handling, braking and all of it but now this ZL1 project is done, I am getting back on the Trans Am clone car. havent lost the want to about building this car just got sidetracked.

Welcome back. Good luck making progress with the TA clone.

OK the S/W headers I had for OE subfram will not work with this R&P dammit!
now 1000$ headers now are useless, I started looking for options other than the $2k+ headers I tried the Ebuy Speed Engineering that almost worked looks like #1 tube would clear steering linkage! here are some views when they were installed, I was happy of the quality and fitment except the issue I have is how low they hang. So Im looking into another option - coming soon

stainless works or ultimate headers for the dse subframe work great.

when I spoke to SW they said they didnt have anything for DSE frame I looked at Ultimate and thought may fit but was expensive for shorty's.
I decided to go with stock Gen5 camaro headers from a Z28 not as fancy like SW but this isnt a max effort build. I have to figure GM felt it was worth building these special for the Z they had to be better than LS3 or LSA

I used the same stainless tri-y manifolds with an LSA on my Art Morrison subframe. They are a quality piece and should work better than cast manifolds. I saw one guy that had them polished but I am retaining the factory heat shields.

Don

Hey Don! I am back on this again after my other distractions. Hows the wifes and your car coming along? I'm still trying to make progress on this one exhaust, electrical and brakes then I'll be coming to see you

They look like they fit good, plenty of room.

I was gonna say, remove the heat shields and either polish or coat them but Don beat me to it. I think they look great.
