Wanted aftermarket headers.

Looking to find a set that was made or ones that are rare to find. If I cannot find some I am going to get custom pipes made instead. Thanks!

Re: Wanted aftermarket headers.

There are only a few sets around and they're all on cars already. Plus they're all designed for modified engines, not stockers. Why do you want headers?

Changes in exhaust setups yield little to no power gains on the EG33 unless combined as a supporting modification to head work, standalone EMS, FI, etc.

Your manifolds are cracked? I have never heard of that happening on one of these cars before. Its likely you have leaking headpipes, and you can either get them from Stebro or have them custom-made, if you dont go with new/used OEM.

Re: Wanted aftermarket headers.

All this searching I have done has brought up nothing. I am going to a local fab guy to get them made.

Re: Wanted aftermarket headers.

It can be done. The person who owned my car before me, had custom headers made for it along with the stebro. It is one noisy car, seems young guys love the sound of it as I do get a lot of "thumbs up" from young dudes cruising along side to get a better listen.
I personally prefer to just go with the stebro and leave well enough alone as it sounds just perfect with the stebro alone.

My son who I gave my 92 perlie to, loves the sound so he'll be swapping parts with my car soon.

Why don't you come here to The Harvest Moon, or The Pumpkin to drive a pair of header equipped SVXi?
Only 250 miles!
