Headers for a G-Body

Hi Guys; I called one of the mail order speed shops looking for headers for my 1987 Cutlass Salon . The sale's guy told me "nope no one makes them any more for A car like that with a SBO".
So I found a part# for my old headers and I did a web search, yet no luck.

I feel this is a viable market for headers and they have left a portion of the market wide open!

Any Ideas on this Thanks

Sanderson and Hedman makes shorty headers that fit. Flowtech and Hooker both make long tubes along with very expensive American Racing headers as well.

I think I can... Now a days, you have computer techs punching key pads instead of parts specialists looking up parts...

Header compatibility

Hey guys...
Just wondering if anyone would know if headers from a 403 olds would be compatible with a 425. Thanks

They will bolt up but they will not hang right. BBO & SBO headers do not interchange.

Some have made SBO headers fit on a G body with a BBO but it is a crap shoot depending onbrand and body bushing condition etc.
