I was snooping around on the SS forums, and it seems they have been able to use the G8 Doug Thorley Headers without modification. They are Tri-Y hybrid headers that are ceramic coated.
Headers w/o Oil cooler delete?

Re: Headers w/o Oil cooler delete?
I went with the Solo Performance High Flow, main upstream Cats, and deleted the California Emissions downstream cats, and the resonators after that. Suitcase mufflers are replaced with Mello-Tone 3-chamber mufflers (with fully welded baffles). I believe it sounds perfect (for me) now. I'll get an audio clip up when I can. Many Thanks for introducing me to Solo's products.

better off using G8 or SS sedan headers
Re: Headers w/o Oil cooler delete?
Go with SS. No modding and works with cooler.

Re: Headers w/o Oil cooler delete?
This is why my first real mod will be JBA longtubes and then I'll build out a dual 3in exhaust from the header back into the factory mufflers for now.
The consensus seems to be that the SS sedan headers are the way to go.

I should have never found out about Facebook market place because for the price that I’m finding these headers at I’m about to make something work.
Someone tell me this is a bad idea please. Lol.

Re: Headers w/o Oil cooler delete?
Does anyone know from experience how the G8 headers fit vs the SS headers? I feel like I find some good deals on used stuff and I just want to have a better idea of that I’m looking at work wise to make it fit.
