Anyone running second gen style long tubes with a bit of modification?

 

I think I read on here somewere that a set made by Hooker for 2ndgen Camaros will fit 3rdgens as well, but don't take my word for it.

 

lol, hedman said the headers I bought would fit perfectly for an 85-92 f-body, and they needed some work. you have a part number? I figure if I have to modify, might as well get those big *** 1 3/4" long tubes available for cheap for second gens.

 

i put mine on and the only clearence issues i had was the collectors hit the frame rails, i cut and angled the collector in a bit, then the other clearence issue was the #8 cylinder, back passenger, primary was hitting the firewall right below the heater box, i cut the corner off the firewall and fabbed a new one in it's place. my car has solid motor mounts in it so fitment with stock mounts may be different. the BIGGEST clearence issue was the collectors, but like i said, cut a "V" shape in them, bend them in a little, then weld them back up.(i got a little more than 3/4" more ground clearence doing this)
