What headers did you end up going with?

I went with headers designed for a first gen Camaro LT swap from Ultimate Headers. They fit great. Muscle Rods also make some specific for 67-72
I am convinced headers for a sixth gen Camaro will fit also.Texas Speed offers them for 600 bucks.

I used BRP hot rods long tube.

Hey man, Ive been watching your build... its amazing and I'm jealous. Thanks for the tip on the 2017 camaro headers, may I ask why you are convinced they will fit our truck? Im very interested because they are half the price as BRP.

Also they show a 1 7/8" and a 2.0" set. What do you suggest for a stock L83 and why?

Trackman101 · 03-23-2018, 12:32 PM

Either will work fine. 1 7/8 can easily handle 7-800hp.
The new Camaro is a little smaller now so the headers have to fit in a tight space.I think they will easily tuck up nicely between the frame rails of our trucks
I would have tried them if I had found them sooner. Your in prime spot to try them as it likely wouldn't cost very much to return.

Thanks for the feedback man.👍🏼 Part of me says bigger is better but I like the idea of having a bit of extra space. I highly doubt I would modify it near toward 700hp.
