Headers for 6.0 LS swap into k2500

[Arnes98]

Hey guys I’m needing a little info on my header selection. I have a 98 k2500 8 lug and dropped in a 2006 LQ4 and cannot find affordable and quality Headers for it. I’ve bought and returned to many times and it’s starting to make me gun shy with all the returns I have to pay for to ship back. Any headers under $500 that will definitely fit?

Have you checked Schoenfeld?
Anyway, it's hard enough to find headers for the K series with stock engines, I would imagine finding a set for a swapped engine would be a bit tougher.
Are you looking for full length or shorties?

Speed Engineering is what everyone uses on the K stuff.

Shorty headers, your pushing around enough weight headers type won't make difference.

Shorties are my goal since towing is my main priority and the long tube headers are just to noisy for the wife

Long tubes are better everywhere in the power curve.

Maybe have a boo at some Richard Holdner videos on YouTube.
I'm pretty sure the stock manifolds were just as good as shorties, or at least vary minor difference. So maybe not worth the headache for a few HP at 5000+ rpm.

Yes they are but the racket is to much
