I have a 2018 Silverado L83 (Gen V) and I want to install a set of Mid-Length headers to keep the exhaust "Tucked Under" the truck. Since "Shorty's is kind of a waste of money for making power, and Long tubes are great for power, but kind of hang down to far for lowered vehicles, I need the Mid-Length. Now NOBOBY makes them specifically for the GenV trucks and they make a boat load for "LS Swap" motors. Has anybody tried to fit the LS Swap headers on the Gen V trucks or come up with any other solution? it would be great to hear for the group.

The header flange is different, so you'd have to work past that. It would be a custom one off unit you are trying to do here. Not worth the effort.

Not cheap but both Kooks and ARH longtubes are more of a mid-length header design. I know they are considered longtubes but the Y-pipe doesn’t appear to hang any lower then the stock manifolds and y-pipe. My Texas Speed headers are tucked under the frame but you can see the driver side highflow cat hanging below the frame.

I have a set of kooks ill sell you. I got sick of the noise so I took them off 

Are they for a Gen V LS (5.3), and how much?

and what about the noise, can you expound on that?

Thanks for the reply

They're 1 7/8, with race cats. Fits l83 and l86. I'm in Canada.

 

With headers it makes the engine sound like a sewing machine. You hear the valve train, injectors, everything... plus exhaust noise was excessive. It was fun for a bit but eventually it wears on you. Butt dyno can't tell a difference.

Where at in Canada? And what do you want for them?

I'm in Calgary.

 

I might try and sell them locally first. Not sure what I want for them, brand new is 3 grand usd; I also had them ceramic coated.

    • I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?
    • Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL
    • Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.
    • Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
