Headers
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??

Re: Headers
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.

Re: Headers
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.

Re: Headers
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.

[QUOTE=90-irocdx3;3918787]i bought dougs headers still yet to install them but here is what i did still not completely legal though.they are basically the same as the hooker 2210's.
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.

Re: Headers
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.

Re: Headers
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.

Re: Headers
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.
