They're cheap, sure - but has anyone tried one and did it fit? I'm not really interested in the claims of increased horsepower. I just want something that will last better than the original exhaust manifold
Does anyone have any recommendations for an after market header?
thanks,
Morat

I like the flex pipe on the ends. Helps prevent premature cracking.

Alotta guys suggest a few name brands, however being over seas it may be a challenge.

Actually a lot of them didn't have this type of manifold. My 91 didn't. Its pretty common to use this style after yours cracks, thats what the flex pipe does.

HOW ABOUT YOU TURN THE ****ING CAPS OFF?

I think that type was stock on 99+ Grands, anything else it was an aftermarket option.

Well if they're so common I guess they must fit...lets see if the inspector will let me off with some exhaust putty for just one more year :-) thanks all
