i tried searching but only came up with long tube ones. i live in california so i cant use long tubes. i just need to know if shortys from a nbs 1500 or 2500 will work in an obs or will i have clearance issues with the steering shaft or anything else?
Good question.... im also looking to do a LQ4 swap into my truck and would also like to swap in some headers. Plus I also live in CA.
little gains is to be had by shorty headers over stock manifolds. Can you do mid length tube? Try getting in contact with some of the sponsors here and see if they make a california custom header.
Side note, california sucks. I'll never live there again.
its not just power gains i need. i dont even have a set of stock manifolds. and they seem to be priced about the same or more as shorty headers.Quote:

This is all great advice. But my question is will the shortys fit on an obs?
If the stock manifolds fit then shorties take about the same space.
Ok. Thanks
Where are you finding stock manifolds priced the same as shorties? Are they used? Duct_Tape is selling a set of stock mani's, send him a PM.Quote:

I was selling a set for like 40 bucks shipped and didnt get any offers so i tossed them. Shorties are usually around 200 for the non stainless steel ones.Quote:

most are on the outside, but on the inside they work fantastic. people re-use stock manifolds for turbo kits. Dont worry too much about it.
Ok. That's good to know. Thanks.
If 5.3 ones fit I'm pretty sure I still have my stocker's @ my parents and your more then welcome to them for $40 bucks. I'm in ventura so if you want to venture up here they are yours.
4.8, 5.3 and 6.0 stock manifolds are the same. Corvette, F-body, GTO, and G8 headers will bolt up but not sure if they will fit in the engine bay
do they have the egr connection on the passenger side? my inlaws live in camarillo so i'll probly be up there some time this month.Quote:
