My Camaro Headers Install pictures
Headers seem to be about the most asked about question on this board. I just installed a set of Headman Elite full length Camaro Headers on my lowered 1976 C-10. The Camaro headers fit 1967-1981, here are some photos so you can see the clearance. The passanger side went in easy from the top, the drivers side I had to go from under neath. I still need to hook it up to my new exhaust H pipe.

Re: My Camaro Headers Install pictures
How are the '82-'87 different? I have an '87 and want to put headers on it. Someday it will be bagged and I don't want them to drag.

Re: My Camaro Headers Install
im curious to know whats the difference between getting headers specifically made for the truck as oppose to getting camaro headers. Is it a cost thing?

Re: My Camaro Headers Install
Car headers do cost less. However, fitting for lower trucks is ideal. 3/4 length and some full length headers don't drop below the frame rails. Exhaust is nicely tucked up.

Re: My Camaro Headers Install
Wow, these do have a lot less hang than the truck headers. Just one question for those running these headers. Have you had to buy a heat shield for the starter or do they hold up pretty well with the headers being that much closer?

Re: My Camaro Headers Install
I don't understand why you used a camaro application for full legth headers. Every company makes full length headers for our trucks... its the 3/4 length ones that are harder to come by.

Re: My Camaro Headers Install
Because the full length truck headers hang down way to low and since my truck is lowered the truck headers are very close to the ground.

Re: My Camaro Headers Install
Thanks! Headman calls it thermal coating, I guess it is very similar.
