Headers for V8 cars, Please read
Well, twice I thought I had located a set of stock manifolds to help facilitate fabrication but that hasn't happened yet. I have had one person in Phoenix offer to R&D with his car but he did not respond to my email for his contact info.
Bottom line, we still need a Phoenix car (cars) and ideally a set of stock 98+ manifolds.
Obviously, installation is still an unknown.
For pre 98 vehicles the hot ticket may be to locate a set of 98+ cats. The ones on my LS are the metal core type which work and flow better than the ceramic core type found on earlier cars. Since the manifolds are longer the cats are shorter to end up at the same basic place under the car. They are also more round than the earlier cats. Of course a pair of high flows under the car would be cheaper than buying cats from the dealer so I am suggesting the possibility of a set of a wrecked car. Otherwise, the set up Peter Scott has would work fine.
Fitment for the SC430 is a total unknown but my guess is a probability.

Holy cow, how much longer? I could have MADE a set while I was waiting for these.
