So I'm getting everything ready to drop my 6.0L and 4L80E in with a whipple. I want to run some headers rather than the stock manifolds. I am not sure which header to get for my truck. There is obviously a price difference but other than that is there anything else different with these two header. You're input will be much appreciated.

First off: Bassani's. They are length matched for each primary. cost is up there quiet a bit. they have a scavenge collecter so i guess i can do a cup/cone connection instead of flanges and gaskets. but wouldn't that cost more to get the cup end on the piping? cost on these is somewhere between 600-700.



second setup: Pacesetter LT's. I'm pretty sure you guys know a lot more about these than I do. Price on these with a ceramic coat are about half the price of the Bassani's.

What do you guys recommend?

 

Go with the Pacesetter's and ORY
Great price for a good product

 

ive been lookin at ASM's. the pacesetters coating is not good from what ive read, i mean the price is good and all. but i think ASM's just have better quality. some one with experince on both products please chime in...

 

btw, those bassani's do look nice.....and they are cheaper than ASM's..hmmmm

 

anybody else? does anybody know if these headers are smog legal in california btw? i'm waiting on sean from speed engineering to drop me a line cause i have tons of questions for him and some stuff to buy off of him too.

 

I will have to say search for some OBX stainless on ebay for 500.00!

 

Not if you buy the ORY pipe, maybe with some high flow cats welded in.

 

i cant decide which LT's to run with either

 

No longtube header is going to be legal in California. Only Doug's midlengths are smog legal(to my knowledge)

 

I like Pacesetter LT's. best bang for the buck imo
