Who makes headers for 92-96 LT-1?

[72Blazerod]

I am looking for headers (preferably "shorty" or "block hugger") headers for a 92-96 LT-1. I would like to find out any/all manufacturers of headers for this engine. Also, any advice as to which brands to stay away from would be good too.
Thanks,

Rod

headers

HI,why do you want headers? Shortys are not headers just performance manifolds no bang for the bucks.TPIS makes a good long tube header with o2 bungs.bob.

Have your factory iron manifolds, ported, same benefit of a header, but better leakage control, stock vs Headers, Headers will always be subject for leaking after Heating up and cooling down.This way, Ya can keep the stock appearance under the Hood(at least Exhaust wise), works out pretty slick actually.

I think these are for LT1 Corvettes:

1. TPIS
2. Ligenfelter
3. Hooker
4. Exotic Muscle

Note that it depends on what vehicle your LT1 is installed in. Firebird/Camaro is a whole different install then Corvette. And, earlier F-bodies did not have duel cats, that may make a difference.

It seems most vette people go with TPIS.

I need shroty headers because I am putting the engine into my 1972 Blazer 4x4 and I have clutch linkage clearance problems.

just throwing in my .02 here
First off most people will tell you you're not going to see any gains with shorties, longtubes are the way to go. I knew this but decided to put them in the car anyway mainly due to concerns about passing emissions. I figured at the very least they dress up the engine compartment a little and spark plug access is a little improved since I got a great deal on the headers slightly used I figured why not. Truthfully it turned out to be more work than it was worth. After taking the car to the track I honestly can't say I was dissapointed when I saw no gain because I knew that would be the case.
Now, if you're still going to get shorties anyway here is some advice. I have the Lingenfelter's on my 94, despite the extra thick flanges I would avoid these like the plague. Unlike the Hooker shorties which have a solid flange all the way across the tubes, these have 3 individual flanges

and Lingenfelter does a half as s job welding them together in regards to holding dimensional tolerances. I had alot of trouble aligning bolt holes on the header flanges with the heads.
My advice would be to do one of 2 things, leave the stock manifolds in the car or go to longtubes.
good luck
