I agree the goal here is to make the best product possible so we need to recognize and correct any real issues. Any issues found need to be well documented and pictures help a great deal in quickly resolving these problems. I will work closely with SW to resolve any problems we have with installations and will report them here. Thanks!

The passenger side O2 harness on 90-92 comes from the front side of the motor. In 93, GM routed it coming down from the back side of the block. |

Mom this being the case they will need a pair of O2 extender harnesses. As stated by several posters the 90-92s are differnet as a part of the solid cat movement vs the 93-95 crowd.

Re: Anyone with StainlessWorks headers
Look you guys are knit picking at least on the O2 wires,simple fix.
JVD on the pipes, you should try fitting the other brand of headers made for our cars, Oh wait there isn't anyone else. Just be glad somebody makes headers for our cars. JVD just help fix the pipe problems with SW for future ZR-1 installers. I don't know how the EGR stuff is, can you weld stainless AN ends with a stainless flex pipe Sometimes we have to think outside the box. Pete

Hi Jim. Sorry to pester you with such a little thing... If/When you find the dipstick tube seal can I purchase one? My SW headers are still boxed but DO need to be installed. If you run across them and are willing to part with one (I suspect others are interested also), I would be grateful for an email with paypal or other payment info. It would be nice to go in with a new seal. Not in a hurry just hoping to connect, so to speak, at some point. Thanks. John R.Sullivan john.sullivan@protective.com 847-275-4841 |

Re: Anyone with StainlessWorks headers
So a further update, I spoke with the man himself Marc Haibeck who has installed many of these. Also spoke with SW.
1. O2 Sensors: For '90 -92 ZR-1's the DRIVERS side wire will reach however you have to do the following. There is a black plastic sheath that has extra wire inside of it. If you cut open this sheath you can pull out enough wire to reach. For '93 - '95 ZR-1's the DRIVERS side cable is long enough. For '90 - '92 ZR-1's the PASSENGER side cable is too short and you need an 18" extension. For those that need it SW will supply you one for free. For '93 - '95 ZR-1's the PASSENGER side cable is long enough. So what it all comes down to is for the 405hp ZR-1's you're all set. For the 375hp ZR-1's you need an O2 extension for the right side. Also important you tie wrap the cables as to not touch the headers. One other note for "93 - "95 owners if you want longer cables you can buy the '90-'92 O2 sensors which will work and they have longer cables then the '93-'95 O2 sensors. 2. EGR extension hose: First only the '93 to '95 ZR-1's even need this for emissions. If you don't need to pass emissions in your state you don't need it and can program the memcal to turn it off. On the hose itself SW has been using this hose for years on many other models, like mustangs, camaros, etc with no issues. 3. Oil drip stick: Still looking into this. I need more info, pictures etc. Once SW does the install for the '90 we'll know more as well. Thanks!
