Performance headers?

Does anyone make performance headers for our Astro/Safari's? I've searched around and didn't come up with anything. I got the standard 4.3 Vortec in my 95 and my stock headers look like crap and need to be replaced.

they are hard to come by for the older 4.3 liter van engines. I had a thought while half asleep the other day about it. headers are nonexistent for my '89. But I mused...I wonder if headers for a 350 v8 just happen to have the same exhaust port spacing and bolt hole dimensions???? I've seen headers for 89 V8s. maybe I could just saw off the front tube and weld it closed. voila, headers for my V6! I know, I was dreaming..coupla beers played in there somewhere too :cheers:

V6 Performance headers are available, but they are expensive......

If you're ambitious... or good friends with your exhaust/muffler/metalwork guy, purchase some s-10 headers for the same year that you're looking to put em onto... With ours we ended up only having to cut one pipe on each side, tweak the positioning a little bit and then re-weld the tube. No doubt if you go for something like ceramic headers you're probably going to want to bend things instead of cut... if that doesn't compromise the ceramic surface :poke:
Our situation was with an '86 rwd.. just for what it's worth.
