I caught some flack on SilveradoSS.com when I asked about them, but for the money, heck, I don't care. I can't wait to install them. Oh yeah, they come with the block off and everything to bolt right to the factory exhaust, except new header to head bolts. They would have been nice.
TotallyStainless sells ARP 12-point header bolts. I bought some like year ago and never used them with my Pacesetters.

Yep as long as they are built well and work who cares what the name is on them. We already knew those weren't cats on them and for me that's good I am ready to get rid of my power robbing cats as soon as I can. I can't wait to hear some sound clips on these.

I finally fitted up the set of 6.0L headers I bought for my 4x4 last night. They fit great, real close on the passenger side, but not touching, so no BFH needed. I definitely had to install them from underneath, and a gear wrench was the tool of choice to tighten the bolts on the heads. I'll see how the Y-pipe fits tonight.

Do you really need much of a reason to ditch the shorties? You should get better numbers out of any LT headers since there is reportedly little to no gain over the stock manifolds with shorties. ![The Jester](https://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_jest.gif)
