Stainless steel Turbo headers

Anyone ever made costom ones for their car. How much did they cost and where?

Like I said in a thread before, the idea of headers isn't really feasible. You could maybe have some sort of custom manifolds built, but there isn't much use for headers on a Turbo Engine.

Custom tubular manfolds will be a good addition to ported Gen III heads and upgraded turbo.

You may want to consider Porting the stock manifolds, that will increase flow. but i guess the stock heads are horible for flow so that will be a must if you plan on upgrading to custom tubular headers and larger turbo.

the motors going to be rebuilt, and if at all possible have them go on before it's put in. as for now it's sitting in the garage floor so getting them off is cake.

Yea I got mods, Ported heads but the 2nd gen ones. If these heads don't give me gains, then out with them and on come the max ported 3rd gen ones. Seems like those stock manafolds are realy making the palses crash against the wall of the manafold and slowing them down.

I'd like to see some pics of these tubular manifolds. They sound interesting. :) Do they still collect in the stock (or Jeff M) crossover pipe? Or do they collect right at the turbo?

My bad..Shane mentioned something about it, but I guess nobody's got em. :cry: Too bad he won't be on for a while..he could've probably come up with something.

here's a set that was use in a fiero with a 3.4 DOHC motor, they were made by steve hamm. they aren't equal length, but they look nice! :D

you'll have to copy and paste.

Yes, they do look nice. I guess I will have to visit the fiero forums and see what I can find out about them. :D

already looked into getting "fiero Store" headers, they will not fit our 3.1 (gen II) they fit the Gen I cast iorn heads.
