Will the $135 Heddman long tubes from jegs or summit fit with a T-5 ? Are there any clearance issues? Thanks in advance guys.

 

I heard you have to ceramic coat them becuase they're too close to the slave cylinder. That's one of the first reasons I haven't converted to a manual yet.

 

here is the part # HED-68460 anyone running a t-5 with these had any problems?

 

i've heard they run right into the slave cylinder and you have to modify both the slave cylinder and the header collector, but if your good at fabrication, it can be done without too many issues.

 

I had an 86 TA with a T5 and hedman LT's. I would not do it again. I was able to get them to work, but the effort is not worth it for a normal street driven car. As already stated, you need to modify the header collector and the transmission bellhousing, but it still leaves the clutch slave cylinder very close to the exhaust.

 

OK so it sounds likelong tubes with a t-5 are out of the question for my! Sounds like way to much work! Can you guys suggest a good shortie and why pipe for cheap.

 

what is the combo? cause if it's a stock lo3 and not going to get much more than that, then i'd say just go with the hedman shorties and y-pipe. gonna cost ya around $240 from jegs.

if you have BIG plans for the engine combo later on, then i'd say at the bare minimum go with a set of Hooker p/n 2055 shorties and y-pipe. combo is gonna be abut $380 from jegs. but if you want big power then longtubes are going to be a must. you'll need to get the hooker p/n 2210 longtubes and build a y-pipe or go true duals. when i upgrade from my hedman headers, i'll be going with the hooker 2210's with the jethot coating, which are close to $550.

 

I'd also suggest the Hedman shorties. I've used them before as well, and I liked them. I just ordered another set for my current ride. I've never used the hookers but they have a lot of good reviews as well.

 

i've ran them as well and i like them so much i'm trying to get my buddy that is going to do a t-5 swap to get the hedman shorties to replace his junk flow-tech ones.

 

how bout the edelbrock tes and y pipe I know where to get these used for $200

 

they are not going to flow as well as the hedmans...not my first choice.

 

Do you know the part # for the hedmans and the y pipe/

 

68470 for headers
17478 for y-pipe

 

HED-68470 for the non-emission style headers and HED-17470 for the y-pipe.

 

I see you two have 2 different part numbers for the why pipe, is there a diference?

 

My camaro came with some pretty nice exhaust, but I could never figure out what kind of headers fit it so I cut it out but I still have th y pipe so I could still use it. The exhaust was pretty big defiatly not stock lokked like it went from 2.5 inch into dual cats and then into 3 inch pipe to the catback. I wish I couls have figued out what headers fit i would have never cut it out.

 

the one i posted is for the ball and socket style flanges that the 68470's come with now if you were to buy them brand new. the number Kevin posted has a 3 bolt flat flange that bolts up to the older style 68470's which you can find on ebay and stuff sometimes. hedman changed the collector design sometime last year. stupid, i know.

 

so theres no way to run the long tubes with a t-5? No easy way anyway?

 

i just ordered a set of hooker 2210 long tubes from jet hot and the price is $650.00 plus shipping in case your wondering
