hey, thanks for the links, great looking set of headers.

Anybody had the inside as well as the outside of the headers coated before ?

Might be a stupid question, but somebody told me you should do both.

Had other headers coated inside and out and it definitely works as far as heat goes. No experience with Z headers yet.

Do the SSW headers come with all necessary bolts, hardware, O2 senser extensions, etc? ............... or do you need to buy the header installation kit referenced above?

Greg, you have to buy the header extension kit, and also be prepared to modify your dipstick tube. I advise buying a new one from GM to work on.

Hey Jeff,

What needs to be done to the tube?

10-30-2005

Tab needs to be welded on in a different location.

Patton · 10-30-2005

Ahhhh, i see. Jesus that was a fast response.

Thanks!

You'll need a new set of header gaskets too. You can use many of the stock header bolts if you want, however some will not clear due to the spacer. I used ordinary 10mm hex bolts from the hardware store, sized a bit shorter to eliminate the length of the stock spacers.
