They will make any size header you want. They hang the same if not slightly higher.

Re: Ed Quay 1 7/8 for stock chassis cars
How did the exhaust system end up? Do you happen to have any finished exhaust system photos? I found your thread doing research on exactly what you started.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Ed Quay 1 7/8 for stock chassis cars
I don't have finished pictures. But just to let you know my exhaust has no bends at all. It runs straight back from the headers to a pair of Borla XR-1's with no clearence issues at all. I did modify the rear seat tray a small bit.

Re: Ed Quay 1 7/8 for stock chassis cars
Thanks for the info, that sounds awesome. Does it dump before or after the axle? did you fit a H pipe in as well?

Re: Ed Quay 1 7/8 for stock chassis cars
Dumps before the axle no h-pipe. The pics I took this morning suck so I didn't post them. But if you go through the thread you can get the idea as I posted some progress pics. We all know the biggest area of concern is the transmission crossmember area and you can see how I fixed that with the double hump x-member. The oval tubing also saves a lot of ground clearance. If I would have chosen oval inlet mufflers. I could have saved more room

Re: Ed Quay 1 7/8 for stock chassis cars
The progress pics do help a bunch Based on your experience is there enough room to do the dual exhaust with a custom one off tranny cross member without moving the subframe members? I am guessing no as you moved yours I am trying to come up with an idea where I don't have to cut them, I will if I have to but I really don't want to.
Thanks again for all the input and pics.

Re: Ed Quay 1 7/8 for stock chassis cars
IMO to get a true dual exhaust sytem you need to be creative. Many people have done different things. I was trying to be cost effective,weight concious and keep the exhaust turns down to a minimum. If you can weld with a wire feed than this would be no problem for you. I wouldn't recomend this for a daily driver because of the sound. But for a high horsepower street car this is a nice setup. I just need to get the pipes ceramic coated now.

Re: Ed Quay 1 7/8 for stock chassis cars
I agree the creativity is the key. My areas of focus are similiar to yours: exhaust flow, ground clearence, cost effective, light weight. Quality headers and the oval exhaust pipe sure seem to the key. Thanks again for the help. I need to go spend some time under my car now doing some mock ups

Bump.
I would like to see more of these headers if anyone has them.

Re: Ed Quay 1 7/8 for stock chassis cars
Bump....
How do you like them LB9?? Do they fit well? I want a set for mine...my hookers are holding me back 13hp from 1 7/8" terrible dyno headers...took me from 604 to 591 hp.
For $650 i may call ed...putting on an air pump as well.

Re: Ed Quay 1 7/8 for stock chassis cars
I really like them.
As said before, you need solid mounts, cut the ears off the trans and corners off of the a-arms and move some fuel/brake lines.
With a th350, the shifter linkage is really close to the collector.
The plug clearance is good too, but I have straight plugs.

There is no direct fit exhaust system for these headers.

Re: Ed Quay 1 7/8 for stock chassis cars
I take it these headers are still available? I have a t10 in my car anybody think that will be a major issue for fitment? I have about a month to make a decision on what headers to use.

Re: Ed Quay 1 7/8 for stock chassis cars
I know, Old thread.
Looks reeeal nice. I needed these years ago. .
I have had the jet-hot hookers on for many years (may sell now), I cut the stupid 3 bolt flange off, installed a 02 bung on dr side and use a slip on pipe with a 3'wide stainless clamp. No leaks there or with my slip on tube.
I also use fel-pro 140? gaskets with 1" bolts and anti-sieze. Never leaked there or lost a bolt. Street car that does see some track time.

Re: Ed Quay 1 7/8 for stock chassis cars
Just to add my bit,l got 1 7/8" from Ed Quay and as always a bit of fiddling. I got A/C delete,stock cross member,mini starter, remote oil filter and cut ears off my th400. Cut flange passenger side to get in and moved a few lines but still only took a day to fit. Slip on Collectors welded straight on to exhaust which exits behind doors/in front of rear tires help with ground clearance on my low car.
