XForce headers anyone?

Supposedly made in Australia. Wondering if anyone has tried these

Not sure what I think about the segmented and welded sections, I guess a lot of custom headers are made that way though. If they offered a 2" option.....

Not made in Australia. Made in China. Go with American Racing Headers.

I had a feeling about that and haven’t heard a single person mention them. I was pretty happy with my TS headers, so I’ll probably go with them again.

We can get you a decent set of headers that won't break the bank. Stainless Works will also be releasing a Stainless Power line for the 6gen pretty soon. Might be worth waiting for.

Why do you want 2" headers. Unless you are making north of 650 to 700 hp you really don't need them. 1 7/8 is fine.

Most of the reputable tuners have confirmed 2" make more power and typically lose bothing down low on these LT1s. Why wouldn't you go with 2", more power even at the bolt on level, and will pay dividends later on if going H/C or FI. Just make sure the fit and quality is up to par.

Those are their Chinese versions. I had SW headers on my 15 GT back before the pricing was crazy. I didn’t dislike my Texas Speed Chinese headers, just looking into all options. And yes, the 2” vs 1 7/8” debate goes on. Many have tested them back to back and proven the 2” make more up top and lose nothing to the smaller headers down low. This engine moves a lot of air. I will check those Stainless Power ones when they come out.
