Those are fox body headers. Those will definitely not fit. I have a set of Patriot Clipster headers that have been wrapped in fiberglass heat wrap. They are not chrome but they look pretty trick and are a hell of a lot more functional. If you are interested in them shoot me a message. I'll cut you a good deal, well under $200. This is what they look like. They are brand new, I don't need them anymore. Include header bolts, collectors/reducers, and gaskets.

You know the chrome plated ones will crack in just a little while right? First time you hit a puddle when they're hot or really get them hot. After that you'll have a nice even coat of little spider cracks everywhere in the chrome and the first bit of moisture that gets on them from there on will start the rust. Expansion when they get hot, contraction when they cool, those steel pipes under that condition as foundations for a hard chrome job just do not work.
You're not feel'in the fiberglass wrap now, you'll definitley not be happy with the rusty chrome later cause it always happens. You might look into a ceramic coating?

Sorry to say, but Ceramic coated is the way to go. They are more expensive, but you will spend the money once. I bought Chrome headers once a long time ago and then had to have then Powdercoated(more money). Bite the bullet and do it the right way from the get go! Save you money in the long run.
