Try Milzymotorsports. I just googled it and found that Grand Am's have headers avaliable for the 3400 so, I know they exist.

No problem dude, I just don't think they'd be cheap. Wouldn't mind a set for the 96' Lumina.

That would probably be your best bet, rather than dump 700 bucks. If he did a good job, that's probably best.

Custom would be a better way to go.

 

Yeah, are Milzy's even equal length?

That, and I don't think the N-body headers will fit on our vehicles.

I was reading all the discussion surrounding Kevwood and his headers. Aren't headers created by using mathematical formulas? I may be under the wrong impression but wouldnt a hackjob (just bending tubes to fit) be detrimental? or atleast a loss of HP? Now I understand this move may not be for more horsepower, but if its more restrictive then stock due to incorrect bends, then what is the point?

 

I also have a friend who does custom fabbing and I also need headers, so I am scared to just have this friend make something that could possibly be worse than what I have

Yes, there are a ton of different calculations that come into play when designing headers. And, to be truthful, after really studying all of those calculations, and comparing them to the aftermarket headers available(say for a GM 350), you'd be suprised how much most aftermarket headers really suck :shock:

:lol: my mom's 77 suburban is living proof of that it kept rattling the after market headers loose we put the stock manifolds back on and put the down pipes on those not one problem and it sounds just like it has headers :lol:

when you have headers you have usually have to keep retorquing the bolts...
