To start the build of my SS - I picked up a set of Kooks 1 7/8" Long Tube Headers.
I picked these up on Cyber Monday 2 years ago - and spent less then $600 for the long tubes.
I've had these sitting for awhile because I was busy with the E-Force install on the Corvette.
That has been finished up - and its time to start this winters project.
These headers are stainless steel - and a vast improvement over the stock restrictive exhaust manifolds.
The install was pretty straight forward - remove the stock air intake, remove the coil packs/spark plugs/spark plug wires - and you will have plenty of room to get the stock parts out.
Remove the exhaust manifolds by starting at the bottom - remove the factory catback pipes.
Remove the O2 sensors - and then go back to the top of the car.
Remove the exhaust manifold bolts and let the exhaust manifold rest on the frame/motor mounts.
Get back under the car - and pull the stock manifolds out.
While still under the car slide up the Kooks headers from the bottom - let them rest on the frame/engine mounts.
Go back to the top of the car - grab the headers and put in one bolt to allow you to mock them into place.
After you get the headers in place - install the gaskets - install the rest of the bolts and you will be done.
Install the O2 sensors - and whatever catback you go with - and you will be good to go!
