does any one make a mid length header for our cars ...i dont shorty because they are too restrictive and i dont want long tubes cause knowin' my luck id get pulled overand have mycar impounded for not having any cats..help is needed..thnakxx!

 

You can have cats with longtubes, and shorties are not restrictive. I don't know of anyone who makes mid length headers for our cars.

 

with your setup id dont think you have to worry about having longtubes and getting in trouble for that before other things

 

sweet ..ill be goin with LT's then.. :lala:
one question where do i get a y pipe for lt's or does it have to be custom made???

 

Bringing this back from a few year, gotta love the search button!! ive looked into the hooker LT and the will def be smashing the ground, is this true about the Hedmans not being any lower than than the oil pan?? if so could someone post some pics!!??

 

Headman headers are much higher off the ground. I'm 90% sure my old post might come up in a search, but if you looked for headman long tube headers even in the sticky i've seen some pics there before. I know on my camaro they tucked up rather nicely out of the way

 

im searching now and there are a few pics but nothing sofar that really give me the full side shot

 

I'm interested in some pics of some installed Hedman Longtubes but can't find them either.

 

heres the best one i have seen so far.

Thanks those do tuck up quite nicely!

 

ya I dont know why more ppl havent posted about them?? they look WAY better than the hookers. I would rip the hookers right off!!

Does anyone what to throw there pics up here? I would like to see a front on the ground shot and a side shot from the ground. also do you think these 1 5/8" lts would flow better than a 1 3/4" shorties? - TOT

 

What exactly do you want pictures of? I have plenty of my install maybe I can help out.

 

Here is where you have to clearance the drivers side control arm mount.



I think I might have a few more on my computer but nothing from the front or the side. I cannot take more because the car is in a million pieces in the garage and the headers are hanging from the wall.

 

wow those look really tucked up in there. do you know if they are lower than the cross member? right now my cross member is scuffed, gouged and scratched from bottoming it out. it you could email me as many pic of your install as you got that would be great

Also anyone what to answer the question about if 1 3/4" shorty being better/ or worse than 1 5/8" long tubes?

 

wow hedmans are cheap!

And from the looks of all the pics ive seen they will give me plenty of ground clearance!

 

You have mail

Here is the best pic of the ground clearance I have if anyone looks this up later.

 

ya I just got you email! thanks a ton that pic right there is perfect! Now I really dont know why more ppl havent jump on these headers. F HOOKER lol just wish they came in 1 3/4

 

If you want to build a Y-pipe like I did You will need the hedman X-tensions and a flowmaster Y. I had an exhaust shop make the remaining to pieces up for me but you could make them out of a piece of straight stock and some mandrels if you wanted. I had about an hundred dollars in the y-pipe by the time it was done.

 

actually im doing duals similar to dead bird so no need for a y pipe and I have access to a mandrel bender so it should come out great!!

You sure you didn't mean to post a link to these? Cause that Iis what I am running.

 

The hedman extension would still not be a bad idea to pick up then. They fit on my car like they belonged there. It might save you some time and wasted pipe.

 

hmmmm those are 68460's im pretty sure those arent the D port style. the 68469's are heres a link with pics of both.
http://www.speedyperformanceparts.co...24&brandid=166

I guess I dont "NEED" to have the D port style but they would match up better to my D-port lt1 heads. hmm I wonder if the ground clearance with the 68469,s is the same as the 68460's.... damn it I thought i had it all figured out!

 

That is the first I have seen of those. I wondering they are not the same header with a different flange? The ones in the pic beside the description look they would hit the stock front cross member.

 

ya I thougth they looked to angled but arent the hookers similar to that? Im going to call hedman now and find out whats up

 

Looked at the pics again and the pic has to be wrong. Those are not SBC headers the center exhaust port are not siamesed.

 

ok just talked to them and they said it had to be a screw up on the site because the only thing different between the two is the flange. the 68469's are D-port the 68460's arent.

the ones pictured look like ls1 headers, equal space between the primary tubes

 

 

I have always wondered that too.

 

Can anyone answer this?

 

I think I'll make a new thread.

 

ya I figured someone would at least throw there opinion in there.
