With all due respect, it seems the market for LT1 long tube headers is pretty well covered.

Kooks
Dynatech (FLP)
TPIS
Hooker
Jet Hot
Grotyohan (spelling?)
Hedman

I realize most of those aren't stainless steel construction. What someone needs to do is come up with an emissions legal long tube header, where the driver's side tubes route toward the passenger side under the k-member/oil pan (2 piece design perhaps). I think a company did that with the 3rd gen F-body, but I don't remember which one.

I'm pretty sure SLP and AS&M headers go under the oil pan like that.

I'm curious what the price would be. I wouldn't mine seeing a version of stainless long tubes with emissions hookups and a catted y-pipe for a competive price.

You betcha, just like all the rest of the shorty headers. I'm talking about long tubes though.

And pay out the *** for a product with the same or less craftsmanship as these. I personally think a product like this with the same price as the ls1 headers would rule the market

I will be getting a pair as soon as they become available
