1985 C30 perfect fit

Fit perfect on a 1985 C30 with 6.0l Ls and manual transmission with dirty dingo mounts. I’m using the factory SM465 with the long tubes you can’t run an external slave cylinder but you have more the enough room for bell housing and frame rails. Would definitely recommend! Good quality and finish packaged nicely.

Nice headers for price

Nice fit for my application bought hooker long tubes and they wouldn’t fit, in a fast hurry and was ready to fire up my build I purchased these and well I actually like them. Colored up nice gold with some blue and purple. For the price it was a good buy!

These are no good.

These were no good. As soon as I bolted them onto my motor and started it up, EXHAUST LEAK ON BOTH OF THE COLLECTORS. Don’t waste your cash or time.

Almost but not perfect.

I was concerned about quality since these are notorious for being a little off. The fit and function of these was 100%. The reason for the 4 and not 5 is that they have visible dark welds on the exterior of each tube at the port. Clearly welded post polishing.

Quality for budget part

They fit great. I had to hammer 1 tube to go around the motor mount on the driver side but jot much.

Ok for the price but not sure if I would buy them again or recommend them to a friend or family

Do not fit correctly bolt holes are not drilled or aligned properly with the exhaust ports require a lot of extra work to install, they do look good once they are in, but closer attention to quality control is needed

1968 C10 Headers

If you’re looking for a set of headers to fit an LS swapped 1968 to 1972 C10, look no further, I had these installed in no less than 30 minutes from the time I received them. Absolutely no clearance issues anywhere, fit and finish is perfect, look excellent.
