Anyone ever use these headers?  I'm just wondering if anyone has had problems with them, I'm not sure what other problems other than fitment issues you can have with headers.  Right now I have long tube headers from a 70's camaro (they were free) on a 1988 K5 but their too long and my front driveshaft smacks the bottom of the right side header.  These look pretty good, cheap and are specially made for blazers, jimmys, and suburbans.

Remember you get what you pay for. They'll rust and leak guaranteed. Those are the older style cheapo's. I would spend more $ and get something at least ceramic coated.

I have them on a 84 K10 (needed a quick and cheap exhaust system ) Issues with em was they are below the trans crossmember (4spd /A833) so I had to make the pipe fit with my press no leaks so far but only have like 1000 miles on em

i shouldn't have that problem since I don't even have a trans crossmember, but do you have any problems with them being low enough where they hit the front diff or front driveshaft?

No that dont hit anything. what holds up the back of your transmission ??

The back of my transmission is bolted to my transfer case adapter plate and the transfer case adapter plate is bolted to a crossmember.  same as my 1999 gmc jimmy, no trans crossmember just a transfer case crossmember.

I bought a set of those exact same headers for my truck. The paint job had big runs in it while some places wern't painted at all. I sort of sanded them down and painted over them with VHT header paint. They were beautiful. You should has seen the smoke when I cranked it up with the new headers! ALL of the paint cooked off right before my eyes. Now they are a nice grey primer and rust color with black flecks. They look really cool if you like that look. I don't. I used the Summit copper gaskets and they don't leak however. Next time I'll but the coated headers.

 I used to work in a machine shop and had people bring me cheap headers all the time to try to fix them and get them to seal. I found that if I surfaced and straightened (on a large belt sander)the flange area where it meets the gaskets to ensure straightness, I could get most of them to seal. I was amazed at how warped some of the flanges were right from the factory.
