Default RE: summit headers

I bought them when I had an 86 and ended up sending them back. Everything is slip fit and nothing matches up right. A couple of the tubes would of had to of been bent more and cut shorter to get them into the collectors. It also looked like I was gonna need to use a whole tube of copper rtv to the slip tubes to seal. I sent everything back and never tryed to full assemble them.

I bought a set of summit headers for my charger and I wish I woukd have. They are sprayed with cheap paint that will burn off in the first 5 min of run time and in a week they will look like they're 30 years old and the fitment was terrible.
