Default 98 chevy 5.7L headers

Hey guys, im tryin to help a friend find some headers for his 98 Chevy 4x4 with 5.7L. He told me all he can find is Shorties. Ive been lookin around and have had no luck at this moment.

The best I could find is Edelbrock shorties. We are going to install them on my buddy truck this weekend.

If you have welding capabilities, a set of Hooker Comps or Super Comps can be modified to work. The Super Comps need the O2 bungs and EGR added. A.I.R. fitting would need to be added if you have those too.
The Super Comps are huge and have 3" collectors. They are balanced. The Comps have 2.5" collectors, smaller primaries, and are actually made of thicker guage metal but they are not balanced.
I run the Super Comps modified for O2's, AIR, and EGR.

Thorleys are midlengths are pretty good. I run them and like them but I do not have any other aftermarket headers to compare to.

Ok we have the headers on and a new exhaust. The exhaust is a 4" for a 6.5 TD. It picked up allot, I think well worth it.
The problem with LT is, the left side would run into the cross member for the T-bars.
