Long Tube Issues.

Hello everyone, i have a 90' camaro LS swapped and i decided to finally get a set of long tube headers. This is where i need some expert advice, the driver side went in no problem but the passenger side that's another story i have spent the last 3 hours trying to get it in and i can't. Im running a Spohn K member and i already removed the starter and still no luck. Im at a loss as of right now all i have to show for it is 3 busted knuckles rust in the eye and a very sore back. If anyone could help me with this i would really appreciate it. almost for got the long tubes came from Racing innovation and supply.

Re: Long Tube Issues.

Might have more luck in the ls section but I have those same headers but I'm using the 1in setback plates. I had to pull my valve cover off and had to pull the header away from the head and push down. Tight as hell but it got in there. Not sure what else to tell ya but to more or less force it.

Unbolt the motor and raise it up a bit.
