Quality Stainless steel headers?
I have been looking for full length D-port headers (1-3/4 to 2" primary tube full length) for a 73 firebird. and i come up blank. is there really no one making stainless headers that is not a DIY kit? i have found one: https://www.stainlessheaders.com/pon...der-build-kits
But that is a DIY kit and i have no welding skills or equipment to do any of that.

Only other choice is custom made. GP Headers can copy some existing plain steel headers. About 1500-2K.

They look Awsome! got about 10 years out of my cheap headman headers, got 1 hole at the start of the season, fixed it with a stainless steel bandclamp lined with fireplace insulation strips. 5 days ago another hole, Time to replace them before they fall apart.

I have a brand new set of d port ceramic coated headers that was bought for my 66 gto but we went with round port heads since the engine needed completely rebuilt and we went with speedmaster ram air4 style heads

Wow, they started doing SS? Interesting.
Sadly, the last 2 sets of the A-body Doug's round ports I got had quality issues, fitment, and the collector exists were uneven. I forget if it were Hookers or Headmans I had the passenger side hung lower, but that's what made me move over to Dougs. I had some OBX ones, and although they could be 'made' to work, I didn't have the time or resources to do so, and moved on. I need a pair of headers for the tribute car, that's the set that the collectors are uneven. I already welded the X pipe section, so will have to do a whole exhaust once I reach that point. Uhg. .
