When installing Long tube headers do you have to drop the K-Member?? And are they really hard to install?

Nobody has to drop the k-member for a LT install.

im having a problem with my JBA shorties headers. im dead stuck trying to get pass side in. i cnat get past the tranny and i think the k. so i might have to. if thats the case im calling a flat bed and swallowing my pride cuz i dont know how to drop it. tonight is my last shot at it. other than this issue it has been really easy and fun

Did you take the starter and motor mount off on the pass side?

^ Yep. Plus you gotta jack the engine up a little.

Long tubes are easier to install because theres not a maze of twisted pipes up top to fit in the engine bay. I always thought long tubes would be harder.

yea i got it in there finally. i took off that support bar thats right behind the oil pan lol and it fit right in. none of the directions i have found said that and no one told me to do so. i noticed it in a pic and decided to do it and it worked out.

Yep, but I hear that not everyone does. The performance shop where I go dropped my K-member lifted the engine slightly and everything slipped right in and all bolts were nice and tight. Downside is, you now need a front end alignment after this !!!

If you have little to no exp. get them installed professionally
