Default Stainless Works Headers for LS 69 Camaro

After battling an unsuccessful set of ls swap headers for 1st gen camaro I went to Henson Supercars and they set me up with a set of stainlessworks headers. These headers are the way to go! I made my own engine/trans mounts to get the engine as low and far back as possible without cutting up the firewall and they still cleared my control arms and steering box perfect! Only problem is the tip of the z-bar of the clutch fork side is rubbing one of the tubes, I might just switch to hydraulic so its not a big deal.



Here is a picture of my first set of "direct fit" swap headers, they hit the steering box bad and the passenger upper control arm




And the stainless works






Night and day difference in the clearance (and price) but I think they are well worth it! Hope this helps out someone else before they get cheap "swap" headers like I did.

I have the same headers as well through Speedtech along with their front clip and rear suspension.

Just wondering if you have a photo illustrating the slip fit connectors with the clamps. Mine is leaking from the connectors because they have removed several times and joints became enlarged a bit

I'll take a pic for you today. They look like the same slipfit used on the 5th gen. I think I have a spare set from my headers I didn't use, I'll check.
