RE: BBk LT's with H that doesn't seal well with headers

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.

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