I bought a set of 1-7/8s with 3" collectors . . . used off of here a while back from Texaspainter or IMD . . . but he's been banned from here.
I was told that they were a self kit from Stainless Works. They fit my 4wd, 80e setup like a glove, no rubbing or cutting anything.

Honestly, we have gotten so many requests that it may be time to step up and follow up with our customers request. We can get a truck in here in the next few months, so please help.

What specific application do you want the larger primary headers? What years are the most popular?

We are all looking for a quality 1 7/8"tube 3" collector for the 6.0-6.2's and FI 5.3's. Something with a spiked collector without the high *** prices of Kooks or ARH! If y'all had a shop in Houston I would gladly drop off my truck for some R&D!
I like how y'all are listening to the customer and trying to build what we want!

Most normally aspirated guys are running 1 3/4 - 1 7/8 headers while the forced induction guys are running either the biggest they can afford or the biggest they can find normally 1 7/8 - 2"........personally, I went with stainless works 1 3/4" years ago because that was the biggest I could find at the time in stainless for a fair price.......back then I was running a stock camshaft and 8 lbs of boost they seemed to do just fine............but now that I'm running 11 lbs of boost and a much larger exhaust lobe they run rather hot! my EGT gauge and the discoloration on the metal confirm this.
years ago when we were all getting started on our projects 1 3/4" primaries made perfect sense......now, years later.....alot of our projects have matured to the point of making much higher power levels (to include max effort or near max effort projects).........I can tell you my next header purchase will be minimum 2" primary headers as I will skip 1 7/8 all together.....just waiting for someone to manufacturer them!

There are plenty of truck guys that resorted to running 2" primary "F" body headers with a 3.5" collector in their trucks in an effort to get the bigger tubes. (1 7/8 have been available for quite some time).

Oh, BTW, my "catted" y-pipe is just for looks now, if you know what I mean. I hammered and chiseled the expensive stuff out, and I've been very happy with the results
