Pypes full length headers

[bwahl602]

Anyone have any experience with the pypes full length headers??

at $360 from summit... they are priced very well for SS full lengths... im thinking of going the BBK or MAC route though.. However, BBK is made with thicker tubing..so thats probably my direction

just wondering

Never used their lt's, but I do have their o/r xpipe. The quality is very good and I would suspect the headers are as well.

maybe ill call them and see if they will give out their tubing thickness im not big on buying anything made of material thinner than 16g... BBK's are supposively 14g...

I have Pypes longtubes and H pipe. The quality is really good. The welds looked clean and the fitment was good. I didn't have to rework anything on the driver side. Steering shaft was a tight fit though. On the passanger, I had to shave a few mm on the alumiumn part of the starter and a tiny part on the bell housing. I basially just went though their first winter, and about 5000 miles. Everything is still tight as a drum. They are working well. I defintially would buy another set. I installed them when the engine was out of the car. So I can't comment on that. But I was able to drop the motor in with the K member still installed along with the tranny as well.

I went with new stock gaskets. I ended up reusing most of my stock bolts.They weren't rusted at all and they were already heat cycled a million times.
