i have a set of mac long tube headers that when i replace my steering rack i was going to install i was wandering if anyone has them installed and if so can they post up pics, i know they used to be on the car but someone swapped them out for bbk shorties i am concerned about the ac line that runs near the headers and the steering shaft.

 

I have 1 3/4" and the shaft runs through the primaries. I had to use a mill to notch my Flaming River shaft to clear

 

yeah i read your thread and saw your picks but mine look a little different than yours on the driver side the tubes are a little closer togther i dont know exactly what brand they are but the flanges look like mac but not to sure


maybe someone can tell me exactly what brand they are i think they are macs

 

those are mac.

 

good to know thank you

 

i have no clearance issues... 2nd car with MAC longtubes

my '89 i did however have to fyr-sleeve the clutch cable cuz it wanted to get cozy with a tube

 

is there any difference between long tubes for and 5 speed or a auto cause the car used to be auto

 

ive seen where they specify.... but i doubt there is a major routing issue

 

i just thought maybe the starter might be trouble i also would like to know why people remove the starter when installing long tubes

 

I "think" the auto headers have a farther distance between the collectors. Don't quote me on it but I think they are like that to clear wider Auto transmissions.
