hay guys I purchased a set of these ( E-Bay item 130509548723) and I am using them on my 1997 K1500. they are pretty much the same as the correct year headers without the EGR provisions, which I do not need. just thought you all would like to know, and yes they came polished, and are SS.:smokin:

been on for about a year now. You'll lke em buddy. They still look good, not polished/chrome looking, they are blueish and amber like colored but still look good. No leaks. I used the hardware that came with em and the block side gaskets. Everyone says to ditch both, I did not. They bolted right in place and saved me alot of money. The cheap black painted ones from summit are almost the same price.

I had a thread on here about em, in the exhaust section I think, just have to search.



ONLY downside, tight to get to the plugs, I used an offset 5/8 wrench, and open end and box end 58 along with a socket and ratchet on some. Basically the last 2 on each side were the tight ones to get to. I could get them pretty good, but short strokes, like 1/8 or 1/4 turn at a time.

As for a difference, eh not really. Maybe but I'm not sure, I had leaking manifolds, bad donut gaskets and cracked, not to mention they were warped too.

You'll have to get your egr removed from the computer or else it'll throw the light on with it being gone, plus the egr plate for the intake.

Ya I have them mocked up and tried to install the plugs on the stand, it did not appear to promise an enjoyable time in the truck!!

LOl put em in with the headers off, outside the truck, then throw the headers on and drop it in.
