Thumbs up Stainless works headers INSTALLED :)

So after lil prob yesterday, seems that it was also a issue for some other people aswell.. As for the headers. When I installed my pacesetters 4-5 years ago, they went in ok, but had to fight with a few things here and there. These SW's went in with out touching a frame rail, hell I even think that I could have kept the steering shaft hooked up(needed to undo it to remove old headers) I started to put them in about a hour ago, they are in and done, a lift helps but I was more then taking my time.. If anybody is wanting to get a header that fits, these are def worth looking at, even if they do cost more then LPP OBX, a few other stainless ones..Save up these are worth it.. I have done a few header installs, these are BY FAR the easiest ever.. Now onto fabbing up the new Y pipe... Forgive me for the dirty underhood, it has been **** weather here...

In all honesty I thought about selling these for the LPPs, but after looking at the LPPs they just didn't look as far as the general shape goes no where as good as the SW's do. I also don't like the collector shape on Lpps. 3rdly I don't like the idea that I think they are(or could be) some china made header that are being sold as a USA made header..To some people none of that will matter but for me it does.. So for them 3 reasons I kept these, am glad I did.. The fit is like a glove, i never heard of the issues wit them like I have bout LPP, the headers are just very very nice.. I have been talking to SW's about getting them to start making a 3 inch Y pipe instead of the 2.5's they offer... Also fabbing the Y pipe up is gona be a nice wasy to get some pratice...
