OK, did a few searches and I need clarification of fitment on the Hedman Shorty coated headers with Y-pipe. Is this a good fit or not. Several posts seem to say this system has alot of clearence issues (oil filter, starter, brake lines). But then again, these people may be talking about Hedman long pipe headers. Anyone who's got 'em, speak up.

The specific part number I am looking at is HED-68481-6 from Summit.

 

This is what I can find from www.headman.com

foot note 121 says "121 Must modify rotary A/C bracket. "

If I can find anything more I'll post it.

 

mine fit great, the only thing i had to really do is bend my brake lines for added comfort on my part,,, nothing big. let me know and ill take some pics if you want...ohh yeah we had to mess with the AC and power steering bracket

 

Thanks, I saw the AC Bracket comment and i think I get what that's about. More concerned about needing to add heat shields to the starter and to the oil filter as a couple of posts implied.

 

you dont need a heat shield...well i didnt. i dont even have the coated ones, i have the plain ones and i spray painted them with high temp stuff before the install. i did put some heat wrap and extra high temp hose around my brake lines for insurance reasons
