Long Tubes?

Are there any companies besides Hooker that make long tube headers for 3rd gen camaros?

Hedman also makes full length headers for 3rd gens, thats what I have. I have 1 5/8 primary, full length headers with a 3in. collector. I think Hedman makes other sizes also.

How much did the Hedman headers cost you? Did you encounter any problems with the install? I like the sound of long tubes better than shorties, but want to know if I'm going to run into any major headaches.

I also have them, kind of a PITA to install, but worth the effort. Ground clearance is not an issue for me event though my car is dropped about 2in in front.

I didn't have any major problems on the installation of mine. But I don't have A.C. or emmissions equipment so that makes it a lot easier. I have plenty of ground clearance, just be sure to route the y-pipe well and you won't have any problems. I don't remember for sure how much my headers cost, its been awhile maybe $300-350. They were expensive because I got them coated, you will have to call jegs or summit for a price.

Thanks guys. Should be about what I expected for the install. I have A/C but no emissions eqipment. I was just curious, because one of the footnotes on the Jegs site said the install required floorpan mods. Didn't want em if that was the case.
