No one sells headers for 92-98 3100 cars. 99+ 3400 headers will fit the engine but wont clear the firewall so they would have to be cut and have new pipes welded in to get clearance.

i spent 1500 on my entire exhaust setup

I can't break down how much specifically it was for the header to be fabbed to fit, but I bought a pace parts header (just the black coated one, not the polished one) for like 179 and what they did was cut each runner, bend it, tested it and rebent it until it fit and cleared the firewall. Then they made the custom downpipe for it, and i'm running 2.5" down and out w/ a high flow cat, no resignator and dual borla turbo mufflers. So for piping, fabbing and installing was 1500, then add in 560 in header, mufflers, tips and high flow cat. You don't have to buy the most expensive mufflers or tips (as I did) but i wanted all borla stuff so unfortunately you gotta pay lol

Sorry didn't mean to go off there, but my point is you should be able to go to any custom fab shop that has a lift and has done exhaust work before get something that fits

Just curious, how much of the firewall does it hit? Would it be easier to pull the carpet back and notch the firewall?
