Slightly off topic but we have the BBK long tubes and BBK shorty o/r h-pipe for an 87 GT and the damn h-pipe didn't line up worth a damn. Had to cut both hangers, bang away with a hammer and heat with a torch to bend a bit, bolted them all up THEN welded the hangers back. PIA, but man it sounds real good!

That's probably what i will end up having to do, and i REALLY didn't think i was going to have to mess with the H at all! Oh well, hopefully it will all be worth it in the end.

I ran into the same problem when I installed my shorty ProChamber on my headers. I had to massage the headers to get them to line up with the PC. I lossened up the headers abit, so everything lined up. THANK GAWD for tubular k-member.

haha, i really don't want to go back and re-loosen and re-tighten all of the header bolts...as much fun as it was the first time, i'm going to TRY to find another way lol.

Well, keep us posted on how it works out for you. This is the first time I've heard of the problem...
