Long tube header recommendation


Recommended Posts

Posted

Trying to find a set of long tubes for my 2000 6.0 4x4 Silverado. I don't have a lot of $ to spend, I'm looking for something in the $300-$500 range. With egr port.

 

Anyone know of some inexpensive options??

Would these work on a 4x4 6.0 Silverado?

they might not clear the taller 2500 frame. Is your truck lifted at all? Some kits wont clear the front driveshaft and the y pipe requires modifying.

I have a half ton. Did the 6.0 swap not too long ago, getting the exhaust work done now. The only issue I think I might have with that's would be the 4x4 parts, but I'm not really sure.

 

They look decent for the price, should breathe a little better than short tubes?

6.0 swap, nice! A simple u or j bend will clear the shaft...shouldn't be too much work. If you happen to rub the frame on the passenger side or the steering shaft on the driver side, just loosen the motor mounts and pull the motor over a lil bit. If that doesn't do it, time to take a big hammer to those primaries, wont hurt anything.

Awesome, looks like these should work. Probably not doing the work myself, taking it to a local shop. I only needs the headers, not the other piping.

I wouldn't waste my hard earned cash on cheap asian junk. The only real "gain" you'll see from these is a lighter wallet. When they rust off or fall apart you'll be buying something else and paying again.

I've seen a lot of positive reviews for these. Can you recommend a set or manufacturer?

Speed Engineering. Best bang for the buck headers available.

Ok, I've decided to spend a little more on the headers. I'll have $1000 to spend, maybe a bit more.

 

What would be the best headers I can get in this price range?

 

I'm looking at these here:

Going to have it tuned and the egr removed, so that should give me a few more options.
