LT1 M6 1 7/8 header?

Any options for non-stepped full 1 7/8 headers for an LT1 M6?

be prepared to give up a little low end. and unless you have an all out build a 1 3/4 longtube like pacestter ,jethot, hooker, etc will work just fine.

now if you have an afr 396 with a blower.. well then ok.

i have a 383 making about 425 wheel then a 125 shot. i use longtube pacetters. i think they suck because they looked like **** within 500 miles of driving but as for the power they do just fine. next time around ill do kooks or lpp

You'll probably need to have that header custom made. I've never seen that configuration available off the shelf.

Hedman headers makes a great full 1 7/8" header for Lt1's. You will need to have the adapter plates for exhaust port matched to your heads in order to work as they are a stahl flange. These are ~$770 from summit racing. I would compare the quality to Kooks except the hedman's are not stainless.

Kooks makes a 1-3/4" --> 1-7/8" step header for the LT1 F-Body. K6400-2RHS. Close to $1,100.
