Same choices as all the other header threads. Except, 1 3/4" (or larger) would be called for with 195's. That's because of their flow ability and port size/fit.

So, you can probably elim SW and Hedman.

Default OBX LT Headers

OBX will work with the AFR's angle Plugs?

I see you run Vette Tech 4-2-1- Headers?

Who sells these?

I currently have Exotic Muscle (EM) 1 3/4 on my 92 and they line up with the port fine.

I have a brand new set of Amercian Racing Headers (ARH) 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 Step sitting ready for installation and they also look to fit the port fine.

Not sure they're still sold.

Vette Tech in Los Angeles IIRC. From memory, I thought Brian Geraci's contact info was in this thread, but I don't see it on the first couple of pages. (Seems like his address was on post #1 or #21 in some thread...)

I didn't find it doing a search on White Page.com either.

Wait...here ya go. FWIW, White Pages says the phone number is a cell phone! LOL

Those might be a jack of stainless works stuff. Seems awfully cheap for stainless!

I asked about these and a reply was "they are a chinese copy of Stainless Works". Still if the welding is good and they copy SW's they might be worth a try. I havent found anyone with a C4 who has tried em.

Go ahead Dennis, be our point man!!
Take care!

Hey Steve

No, I'm wondering about plug accessibility with angle plug heads and Port match.Wish I could contact them. Great Price though.

That's right copy's this is one of those parts who cares where it's made...
this is a part that is under extreme temp, and weather conditions....
OK the stainless is not the highest of quality.... the welds are very good
the final product very good.... there is no way any other manufactures are worth a 1,000+ more... huge money hungry mark-up... Especially if it's for a CORVETTE.... same parts for a Camaro min of $500.00 less

I certainly agree that the SW price is outrageous. They can point out all their benefits and you still arent getting much more at triple the price of the OBX's. When I have the spare bucks I think I am gonna go with them.

I think the US sends too much money to China but if you look at most of what you buy now is all made there. Its getting tougher and tougher to even find a US made auto part. But thats a thread for Off Topic.
