whats up guys!! I was wondering about headers and which ones you guys use? I am having trouble finding non emission long tube headers for a manual transmission. I have found headers at summit racing for 89 bucks but they are only for automatic trannys??

You're having trouble finding non-emissions LT headers? AFAIK, there are no emissions legal LTs in the first place. Hooker 2210s and Hedman 68460s are both good choices.

kahless

So there are no long tube headers for mine??? Other than the hookers and the hedmans? What about the ones i posted from summit? They look like long tubes and they say they will fit a manual transmission thirdgen f-body? I am officially confused lol Also i do not want anything that has to do with emmissions !!! I am making my car a drag car and i wanted to go with long tube headers and true dual exhaust.

Those Dynomax 85098s are pretty anemically sized. Hedman 68460s won't clear the slave cylinder, so you're stuck with the Hooker 2210s, unless Dyno Don has a long-tube.

No, they won't clear, but I believe mw66nova wrapped the slave cylinder and header around that area and it was fine.

I did the same thing, welded AIR Tubes onto the Dougs' headers, but it makes them a nightmare to put into the car. They also don't fit well with Vortec-style cylinder head plug locations, the headers have to be removed to get the plugs out!! (This would probably be the same with the Hooker LTs, neither were designed for Vortec or Fast-burn head plug locations!) If you have the Vortec style heads, go with Dyno Dons' headers, they're shorties, but they work well and allow plug access for the Vortecs.

I intend to adapt a Bassani True-dual X pipe system onto the long tubes, but the trans Cross member is just not designed for duals, so ground clearance will be pretty minimal.

There are other LT headers out there.

Stahl Headers and Lemons Headers have LT headers for the 82-92 Camaro, but expect to pay $$$$.

Also, Davis Step Headers have LT headers available for 3rd Gens. Again $$$. These are competition headers.

They're also assemble-to-fit and require modifications to the car.

kahless

so will these fit yes or no its says that it is for a manual tranny and the price is right for me http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

Those are shorties.

And you'll still need a y-pipe, so the price may not be right for you after that.

I couldnt run single pipes to each end and have a dual exhaust set up?

Have you not done any kind of search? Search true duals before asking that question again.

kahless

i have that is why i started this thread!!! You don't have to be rude guy! Slow your role and if you are not going to be helpful don't post in this thread

I was just trying to find out how you could miss a pretty well talked about topic. And to answer your question, you could do that with shorties, as my friend has it on his with glasspacks, but it scrapes anything and everything.

kahless

lol remember i am making it into a drag car so all i need to do is go straight. But i appreciate all the help so what did your buddy do?

blew the motor and hasn't driven it in 2 years. haha.

I ran hedman shorties into true duals and glasspacks, dumped before the rear axle. drove the car everyday on the street hardly ever scraped. I'd do it again.
