68479 for painted and 66479 for coated, Hedman shorty d-port headers are probably the best ones to use with their y-pipe. No need to go with the 1 3/4 headers unless the motor is really really built.
im running the longtube supercomps on my gta with my LT1. they work great, but they will need a couple of header shorty plugs so you wont burn your wires.
i would run the 1-3/4" on any LT1. or bigger if your hitting it with alot of juice.
Alot of guys have run the 1 3/4 and didn't see much of an improvement over the 1 5/8 tubes. The shorty headers I posted up are made for angle plug heads and I haven't had any problems at all with them, easy to change the plugs out with. Just had to drill and weld in the O2 bungs.
i will be doing a LE2 from Lloyd Elliot, 58 mm tb, 30lb injectors, and so on. Lloyd suggested finding a good long tube or mid length for this setup. Diggler did you have any ground clearance issues with the super comp's?? i have a set of eibach 2" lowering springs already, so i need to watch my clearance. thanks guys.
Well, I say shorties, but they actually dump right below the oil pan, so they could be considered mid length, they are 1 5/8 to 3" collectors, then I have the y-pipe going to a 3" i-pipe. 2" lower you will probably run into problems with the long tube headers, since most have problems with normal springs.
speaking from eperience with my LE2 setup the shorties will cost you some horsepower..
My new LTx setup is d-port coated hedman longtubes 3inch collectors into a dual 3inch to 4inch flowmaster y-collector and then a 4inch mufflex system, I used a drews x-member for clearance.
J's TA do you have any part numbers (no Y pipe needed), and how's your ground clearance?? My car is lowered with the spring kit, so i have to watch it. THanks
