Steve has me jealous. Is this what I want?



Hedman Street headers for 82-92 Camaro and Firebirds (PN 68460)

Obviously, this would pave the way for a 3 inch exhaust. What do you recommend?

yes its is illegal to have longtube headers because it repositions the cats in a different location. But i've known many people who have long tubes on their rides and recently pass smog. Just have to find the right smog place to get it done. I don't know any places but my friends do. Just make sure that u have cats

Yeah,if it doesn't have air tubes or a carb# it will fail,unless you have a shady mechanic.I would just do shoties.With the 305 I doubt you would see a major gain with long tubes anyway.

Jealousy and long tubes will not make your car much faster.

Think more like 350 and TPI swap.

Joe... when you had your 2055's installed your car stayed in a constant code 32 state so that the "check engine soon" light was on all the time?

Regardless what headers I get, it's safe to say that the install on the passenger's side is gonna be a beeyotch!

I didnt get the code 32 all the time just when im on the freeway doing around 60 or 70... I hated it man.. Just needed to delete the EGR on the computer or put a smaller exhaust system. Had 3 inch all the way back. Or it could of been my motor. Dont know?? AND YES!!! The passenger side took me a long time to do MAN!!!
