FINALLY!! Headers for LSX+DSE combination

[Vegas69]

I agree that the price is out of this world. I bet lemons has a set of killer headers for way less.

Wicked nice I agree. But there is a nice "DSE tax" included in that price for their great name.

Here's what $1600 will buy you and I can assure you, it's a more difficult fit than putting headers onto an LSx in a 1st gen. These are some of the best C5/6 vette headers on the planet.

What would i do with set of 1600$ headers if i cant get them to fit my chassis ?? What is the point of saving 830 there ? And believe me i have done the search on these. StainlessWorks do not offer anything on DSE sub + LSx combination. How about plug wires ? How many headers you have seen take stock wires? ( header wires cost $$$ too )

Similar headers made in stainless cost even more at Lemons.( 2450+220 for V bands= 2670$ )

Did we set a beers as bet ??

I wish there would be cheaper alternative. But so far i have not found any in stainless,1 7/8" and V bands

My point was the price is high for the DSE headers. I used those C6 headers as an example of what other similar products cost ie SS headers. Much of the cost in headers is the complexity of the design. The LG headers are a complex design for their chassis and happen to be a more complex design than the DSE headers yet cost much less. Volume of sales must be factored in as well of course but even then, I still think DSE is high. Stainless Works was just another example of a similar product. If what you need is what DSE has, then you won't have much choice but to pay the price. That still doesn't change the fact that the price is high. Which is my opinion ultimately. In a captialistic economy, nothing is priced too high if someone buys it.

Yes,nothing against lemons but i just cant afford them. And all props to Tom but i dont feel like needing coating on N/A stainless headers.

My thoughts were that you could have a set of regular steel headers made by lemons for quite a bit less. Stainless is a whole different story. I've never been a fan of the blueing of any exhaust pipe.
