Headman headers

What are the chances of these fitting? Slim I'm sure, but $164 vs pacesetter's $230 is tempting.

Re: Headman headers

They will fit the engine, but not the car.
I would go with the pacesetters, I think those are for camaros arnt they?
I could get the headmen headers and make them fit, but it wouldn't be worth the $60 I would save.

Re: Headman headers

The pacesetters are designed for f-bodies but I preffer full length headers. Wish I had acess to a mandrel.

Re: Headman headers

I don't think that they would fit. Hedman used to make LTs for the V6s. You may be able to find a pair eventually. I got lucky and bought a pair off of a guy here for $100.

Re: Headman headers

I think the main issue would be on the passenger side... there's only ~4" between the firewall and the manifold. Control arm mounting point might be a problem too.
