I was looking for a set of budget headers for my little brothers C10 and decided to go ahead and take the plunge and order them. Although we are still mocking things up, on the initial test fit these headers seem to fit very well. There is lots of clearance from the frame on both sides, and they only slightly hang below the frame giving great ground clearance.

The quality of these headers is a lot better than I expected for being less than $300 shipped, they have thick flanges, are 304 stainless steel, and 02 sensor bungs are already welded in. These are the Speed Engineering 1 3/4 in. longtube swap headers. I apologize in advance if pictures are crooked. If anyone needs any specific pictures, or has any questions let me know. Hopefully this will help a few folks out.

They are the Dirty Dingo sliders. And so far the only spot I have really seen is a corner on the block that may need to smoothed just a bit on the drivers side. But I have not fully bolted them down yet, so the gaskets may move it out enough to where trimming is not needed. If you need any specific pictures just let me know.
