Where can I get custom long tube drag headers for my truck? I have been beating on many peoples doors and nobody wants to make any!!! <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

Could a custom header builder wrap the pipe around the steering shaft or would that be unfeasable?

schonfeild will build you any header you want. call them. they build them for our dirt cars and will build them for any chassis, engine set back, and etc...

A.S.&M. said they would build me a set for 850.00 with the 3" collector coated.I was just tryin to find a cheaper route. Was also tryin to find out if Camaro headers would fit,but don't know anyone with long tubes to try it out.

i'm fairly sure i've heard somewhere that camaro headers will run into clearance issues somewhere.

What size tubes are you looking for?

I talked with TOG about a set of 1 7/8" headers but, they didn't seem very interested. They were willing to make a set of stepped(1 3/4"-1 7/8") headers but, that is not what I was looking for so I didn't really follow up. I didn't want to keep bothering them about it.

If you want anything bigger than 1 3/4" your probably going to have to relocate the steering column. It makes for a tight fit on the drivers side. The passenger side should be no problem.

I decided to just use a set of AS&M's(also contacted with no return response <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> ) with a bigger collector welded on for right now. I'm also going with a good size exhaust and may weld in some 3.5" cutouts after my emissions BS is taken care of. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

I would go to a local race car builder and see who's a good custom header shop in the area. You may have to drop your truck off for a week or two but, that is probably what it's going to take for custom headers. I talked with one guy around here but, he wasn't interested so I gave up for now.

If you find somebody let me know. Maybe he can make up two sets. I'd be interested in some full 1 7/8" true longtubes with a 3.5" collector. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

What type of truck do you have dude? Im putting a 99 LS-1 in my 98 1500 and headers have been my worst nightmare. We think we have found some though, from Street&Performance.

Bassani makes some, probably not what you are looking for though... Click here to see
