LT1 Swap. what size headers?
Doing an LT1 Swap. (89 305TPI for a 96 LT1)
I'm not a mechanic, though by the end of this I will be
What are some reccomendations on headers that will install with little mods? Also I see 1-5/8 and 1-3/4 reccomendations for primaries.. down to 2.5 into the Y, out to 3" back to muffler, 2.5" dual tail pipes.. personally i'll be leaving the cat on the shop floor.
Anyway.. looking for Header / Y pipe little mods reccomendations.
I see all the posts but I find it hard to pick one over the other when it comes to lt1 in a 3rd gen. I guess its because I'm new to it all..
Thanks..

1-3/4 it is then.now 3rd gen headers on an lt1 should put the exits for the headers in the right spot for a 3rd gen y pipe in stock location?
