thezguy Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) So I found these JBA shorty headers that are for trucks and is supposed to be a direct replacement on the trucks. I wonder if these would work if I removed the 3 bolt flanges and welded a v band to them. The tube size is 1-5/8in which I think is small for a 6.0l. Opinions on this? image.jpg 1 5/8" runners or the flange exit is 1 5/8''? Also look into C5 xhuast manifolds. They hug the block Very tightly and are stainless steel. Only problem is that you will need a sharp 90 degree bend towards the front as the collector meets in the middle.

C6 exhaust manifolds look like they'd work also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thezguy Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 1 5/8" runners are fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thezguy Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I test fit some C6 manifolds too. Check my thread on tech there are a few photos I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPhotographer06 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Hope nobody hates me for reviviing the dead.. but I've seen a post or two on the Ebay up & forward headers and I believe i'm going to run with them.. worst case, its 160.00 gone but they seem to fit as well as the 600.00 OBX's.I'm not sure i'll let them support the full weight of the turbo, but i'll run a support bracket over to it. I have a set of manifolds ready for v-band, but they're just ugly lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marks260z Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 MrPhoto I really need to get down and check out your project. I would be very curious to see if the headers fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
