so i have a few questions... whats the difference between the 3.5L and the 3500 i always thought they were the same thing also when making a header do i need the flat piece (in red) or can i just make oval fitting that bolt to the head (sry for the bad illustrations)

I'm pretty sure the 3500 = 3.5L.

I think this is pretty representative of what you'll find for G6 headers:

http://www.dragtimes.com/parts/OBX-H...332815621.html

look at the exhaust ports, they're the same as your diagram. The headers you have posted look like they'd be for a car with a longitudinal (rather than transverse) engine, and therefore not for the GM 3500 engine.

the headers i showed were just a pic i found on google nothing special just to ask the question

well i can build a header easy prob take me like an hr ive made headers before but making a turbo header seems like it would be a nightmare i dont use a mandrel bender i close off one end of the pipe fill it with sand then close off the other and heat and bend (the sand keeps it from creasing) but turbo headers have almost 360* bends in it... although i could easily build something like this


also building my own headers i can get the 3" collector that i need but cant find
