Gen 3 manifolds or shorties on gen ll 3.2 turbo

How "remote" is the turbo? If it is a rear-mount, headers may not give you the desired reults. I see a lot of rear-mount F-body guys complaining about longer spool times after swapping from stock manifolds to headers. Keeping heat in the exhaust is key for these setups.

Do you have room to run the front bank under the oil pan by using 3500 manifolds?

what if i were to wrap the headers and part of the exhaust?
Im really interested in building a set!
Thanks,

truthfully, if i were going through the effort of making some turbo headers, I'd just make a conventional turbo setup while I was at it.

That helps. Go search over on the LS1tech.com forced induction forum for threads on rear-mount turbos and headers. There is lot's of reading.

I agree with Rebel. If you are really wanting to build a set of headers, do a conventional front-mount turbo setup. The improved response and lighter weight should make a huge difference in performance.

It would also eliminate the long oil lines, return oil pump and the issue of where to mount your air filter.

well i think i have made the decision to do the gen lll manifolds. Its easy, cheap, and should gain some, maybe some day i will do headers.
Ive got the manifolds now, and would like to bolt them on soon.
THanks,
