4.3L V6 Headers
 
I got my intake (K&N) and Exhaust (Gibson Super Truck) finally done, So I was thinking...hmm tax return...hmm headers. So I start to look around and I cant find any 4.3L headers. I have been to Edlebrock and other places and cant seem to find them anywhere. I started thinking well maybe the headers for a 4.3L Chevy S10 would work. But I thought to check with you guys here before I made any real decisions.
I have a Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Yr.2004 - 4.3L V6 - 2D - Short Bed - 2WD
As always I appreciate everyones help and timein advance.

What kind of gains have you noticed with your exhaust? I checked out summit and your exhaust looks friggin awsome!
I have an 03 4.3 and i am looking for the best bang. let me know when you get the headers too. I'm really interested in plumbing mine as well.
Thanks for the link, I just ordered my 180 thermostat from them.

I would becareful with exaust. If you buy the wrong muffler, it could make your truck sound like a pissed off weedeater. I bought flowmaster Super 40's for my 02 4.3, and It does alright.Its a true dual system. About as good as could be expected. I dont really know about how much power I gained, but I does have a psycological affect of me thinking im accelerating faster, so thats all i need...

oh yea, I forgot to tell you that I havnt got these headers just yet, but I intend to soon. Dont really know how much hp gains to expect, but when im done with that and a reprogram im looking at around 90hp with all my mods. Cold air, exaust, soon to be headers, soon to be reprogram, tb bypass, descreened maf, and soon to beelectric fan conversion. Kinda sucks... 90hp for $1500. bad trade off for supporting my othe hobbies... oh well cant win(or support) them all.

Ahh alright, the only thing I had changed was the "Ending Year", in you search the ending year is 2002 and I searched for 2004. My truck IS a 2004...But im thinking that doesnt really matter and long as the engine is the same size...correct?

I believe they still make the 4.3 the same. Do the headers still show up with an 04?? If not the 02's will work fine.

Did you do the e-fan conversion yet? I am thinking of trying it too. Just wanted to know how you did yours;).
