need help picking the exact header for my truck with airbags. right now i have the hooker comps fit great but i think its going to cause problems with the way i run my exhaust. searched on the site and alot of people using the headers for camaros, but i couldn't find that many pictures or part numbers. can you guys tell me if these will do the trick http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

I plan to run the 3/4 length headers from Skip White on ebay. They are for 88-95 trucks, but they fit with a little trimming on the driver side and you have to plug the O2 bung. They are only $160 and they are ceramic coated, not a bad deal.

I was told a Camaro headers don't fit because they hit the motor mount on the driver side.

I'm running the camaro headers on 71 2wd. No problems with hitting motor mounts, but did have to trim about 1/8 -1/4 of an inch of upper frame rail on passenger side......no big deal!! For pics and part number go here

I first tried some shorty headers out of a firebird and the drivers side hit the a-arm.

I have 3/4 length headers for a Chevelle/Malibu ... they don't rub anywhere.

maybe i missed something, but why not use the shorties designed for our trucks, as they are readily available...

I know both hooker and heddman have them

how low are you going to be to need these headers? im bagging my truck with stock spindles and no nothc think ill be ok?

uno67 · 02-09-2007, 02:48 AM

the hooker comps i have now hang down about three inches and since i'm putting in a new tranny crossmember and a new drop center crossmember i want to run the exhaust between the frame rails. i have it bagged with the drop spindles and the headers aren't that bad the only time it hits is when its aired down all the way. but i can take better advantage of the new crossmembers with new shorty headers or 3/4 headers just need to figure out which ones.
