Super cheap LSx swap longtubes

Someone shared this link on Facebook and I wanted to pass the info along for anyone that is wanting a budget-friendly set of longtubes that are proven to fit really well and perform. They appear to be the same polished set of 1 5/8 primary/3" collector headers that Hawks used to have listed on their site that they now only have listed in 1 3/4" primary. These are the "knockoff" Stainless Works headers, and for $250 you can't really find any better option.

They also sell the up and forward turbo headers for $450.

Re: Super cheap LSx swap longtubes

Theres already a thread about these. Looks like they already ran out of stock. Interesting they offer the turbo headers in 1 7/8 primaries. Hawks just did a gp on the budget 1 3/4 headers, just got mine.

Re: Super cheap LSx swap longtubes

Same headers that you once had .

I've been rocking a set for a while , bought them off a TGO member but came through hawks. I paid what the same amount they are bein sold through racin innovations. they haven't rust but discoloration did appear.
I would highly recommend getting these coated . They affected my a/c in the summer n higher temperatures inside the vehicle .

Few of my buddies missed out on the waitlist, not sure on the qty on hand right now.

Re: Super cheap LSx swap longtubes

That's senseless, because the turbine is the restriction, so you use smaller primaries, not bigger. In other words, don't buy turbo headers with oversize primaries.
