I am going to get longtube headers from bbk. I have heard of people having problems trying to install them and that they take a while. I am also going with a new x pipe fromBBKif that helps. Just wondering how difficult it will be to run longtube headers. All information is greatly appreciated.

mine had to have the motor pulled up like three inches to clear the headers along with taking the steering rod off

My collectorwas welded and will not spin and wouldn't clear the firewall and bell housing so i had to take the motor mount bolt out and jack it up. I have worked on cars all my life but this one got me. Happens to the best of us.

your install will be the start of problems,,if it's lower any you will be scraping like crazy on speed bumps and some curbs..there just not worth the hassle
