Title: k5 BBC headers
Post by: Jthomas on September 07, 2012, 10:14:11 PM
so ive been searching google all day, scrolled through some forms, and came across this -->   http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=271171 (http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=271171)

then i did some more research. they really dont make any headers that will fit without modifying the frame rail, or denting a pipe, and so on. im looking to stuff the largest pipes i can (2''-2 1/4''+) with a 3.5''+ collector.

im really having a hard time trying to find some, getting close on the project, and i need pipes.

anyone know of any? or got any feedback with what they are using? pics of problems?

thanks

If I was you. Ive been following your project

I think that it would be really sweet if you eather had or if you built a custom set of fenderwell headers for it. ;D

i will when i get to school, i leave in 2 weeks, dont have the time or right welder to make some. i was thinking of just putting on a set of uprights, but i dont want anymore holes in the hood. eventually if i run uprights, ill just take the hood off or somthing.  but in the meantime, i need a set to run open so i can start it up and take it to school.

I can get you in touch with a guy that has a set for an 85 truck which should be the same as a k5 I believe. They're Big fenderwell headers and I know they won't be cheap but if you want I can get you his #.  He's putting the BB in a different vehicle and has to have new headers built.

got ahold of him and he said $1000 not a penny less, I know he paid over $1500 for them and all they've seen is sand and dirt drags no mud at all.

He also said they are nitoplated (ceramic type coating) with a lifetime warrenty on the plating and he believes that warrenty is transferable

That's the only kit I have know of.

But some guy was telling me that you could like moch them up, or like custom build your heads with a material they give you or something. Then you send it back to them. Then they send u a finished product.
