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.

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.

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

This one?

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