LS Headers
 
I know there's an issue with Vorshlag headers and sway bar.. I will buy headers and they will be custom fitted to the car. I don't know if I should buy shorties or buy longtube... Any one of the people who have completed the swap have any recommendations?

Try Weapons Grade. They clear the sway bar and fit in the chassis. Just a bit expensive though

You want the second option

Thanks a lot, but I find them too expensive. I can get longtube headers for LS3 for about $500ish and have a local builder modify them, but I just don't know if basically getting one of those automatically means they will hit the subframe/swaybar etc... May just buy shorties and have it custom after that. The difference in power between them is in the 5-10 whp range, so not like a huge loss.

Super expensive. If it is only 5-10, Go for it. I am having a hard time choosing for mine as well.

I remember JDL made some absolutely gorgeous headers, but their pics don't work anymore.

Even if you had to bash some GM headers to "clearance" then it won't kill any power. So if there are any out there that may be close enough I'd probably go that route.

You need to befriend my friends in Atlanta who just finished up a LS3 swapped BRZ Endurance racer.

WGP swap kit was purchased but very little of it ended up being used. A lot of re-fabrication and needed to parts of the swap kit that were used.

God I hope my car sounds that good.

I see some little race bullets in there

If only these merged at 3" instead of 2.5". Not sure how big of a deal that is, but Vorshlag and WGP Both terminate at 3". These are 1 7/8in Tubing as well.

I saw that setup when I was at Solo on Thursday for CAN things on that car. Good header setup.

all4spl 02-28-2017 04:46 PM

are people really concerned about the 2.5 vs 3"? you could make a Y pipe that goes to 3" no? I would think that 2x 3" to a 3" Y would flow as much as 2x 2.5" to 3" as the 3" Y can only flow so much. am I wrong?
