actually ground clearance is pretty good even with the 245/50/16 tires which are only about 25" tall.......i'll be switching to 15" weld draglites with 28" tires and ground clearance won't be an issue at all. it's just the camera angles that make it look like they hang real low

oh and here is one of the new 383........

please excuse the ghetto-fied upper radiator hose........could not find a single hose that would fit and the old one i had for my old stealth intake was too short so i cut it and put a length pipe in it till i can get back to jegs and get one of those flexible steel radiator hoses. hasn't leaked the least little bit yet so it should be ok till i can get back to columbus.

What kind of headers did you get? Do you have a part number? are they 1 3/4 or 1 5/8 primaries? Also where did you get the bends for right off of the collectors? sorry for all the Q's.

How much did you pay for that?

Places around here are charging from $300 to $500 for that exact setup.

Hey, I see you have a carb spacer. I'm assuming that would give you clearance problems with the stock hood, what kind of hood do you have on your car?

Nice lookin, not to nit pick, but I'd think a larger diameter air filter would look a lot better and flow better too.

Not to be a pain, but if you get a chance, break down the parts and part numbers. That set up is pretty close to what i've been thinking about doing. I just was wondering what pipes off the collectors, muffler, bla bla bla you used. thanks

Thanks for the info bud. I was wondering if you had any problems with installing your exhaust, or if everything bolted up pretty easily for you. thanks.

Do you have a pic from the back when it's on the ground. I have never seen that before. Looks good though.
