I think I remember seeing that you could buy A.I.R fingers and fittings that you could weld onto headers, is this right? I want to get Long Tube headers and since none come with A.I.R equipment I want to look into buying the fingers and fittings and welding them on. Thanks.

Cool, thanks a lot. Kinda sucks that they're that much but I my only real choice is SLP headers or Long Tubes, and Long Tubes are cheaper and give more power. If there's anywhere else that sells them cheaper please post. Thanks again.

I think Hedman has the weld on air tubes for much less but not sure how much.
If I can make a suggestion, why not just weld a single tube on one of the primaries on both headers with the AIR check valve fittings?
If you look at the LT1 smog legal headers you'll see what I mean. Also the MAC headers for the third gens are setup like this.

IMO it looks A LOT cleaner than having 4 tubes sticking out of the primaries. Just my 2 cents.

Not to mention you can bend that up yourself for next to nothing. It might not even have to be at the collectors. I think Chevy pickups have only one or two AIR tubes mounted on the center ports by the head, right? I'll have to look at my dad's sometime when I go over there.

Instead of blowing $100 on that slp stuff, just use the stock AIR tubes from your manifolds? They come right off and i'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to bend and cut the tubing to your desire.......
