check www.seriesoneperformance.com

I don't know if Series II would be different or not, but the typical 3800 vendors have SLP headers and maybe a couple other options. Intense Racing, ZZ Performance

Series 2 headers are diffrent the heads exhaust ports wouldn't line up.



Series 1 O.O...O

Series 2 O..O..O


Only custom headers for your car but you are better off porting the manifolds. Go over to bonnevilleclub. for instructions on how to port Series 1 manifolds.

Maybe cost-effectiveness, if custom is the only headers option for Series I.

Thanks oldsman, I'm not familiar with the Series I - II differences.

I don't think so...the gns are rwd so they have different routing positions so you might run into some clearance issues...plus theyre set up for turbo applications.

The manifold on my riv just went, and im replacing it asap due to it sounding horrible and bad gas mileage now. As far as I know, there arent any headers made for the series 1, right? If you know of any please let me know, as I'd like to get headers for some performance. smile

even for the S II a set of headers is $800 - $1,000

you might try calling junkyards to find a set, but I suspect you'd find getting a set of manifolds and porting them to be a better use of time.
