Header Options
So I finally have most of the stuff to put my car back together and its time to think about the headers/exhaust since the motor will be in the car in the next couple weeks. I have a set of Hedman long tubes that were on the car but the way it looks to me they will be way too close to the Spohn crossmember to be able to run pipes in any possible way. I plan to run a dual 3" into 4" Y after the headers somewhere and then run 4" over the rear. Im just trying to figure out how to go around the crossmember. Im not against changing headers but if Im buying new headers I should upgrade my primary tube size to somthing bigger than 1 5/8" but as far as I know the only non-long tube header thats bigger than than 1 5/8" is the SLP which is expensive and out of production from what Ive heard. SO anyone with header ideas or a Spohn crossmember or exhaust ideas lets hear 'em.

Re: Header Options
Do you have a aftermarket crossmember? My hedmans fit great b4 but with the Spohn crossmember it looks like the header will be too close to the crossmember. I dont want to do shorties but ease of buildng exhaust might make it worth it.

Re: Header Options
Search this board for Dyno Don headers. He is making shorty 1 3/4" that are better than SLP's.
