Re: EarlyClassic Headers.

I bought a set of the Sandersson's from ECE recently and had them installed about a month ago. I had the full length Headman's on my 350 and changed to the shorty's for 2 reasons. I kept burning the #5 plug wire/boot plus I am currently having the truck dropped 3.5/6.

The full length headers hung just too low for my comfort, so I switched to the shortys and couldn't be happier. They have very thick flanges and use no gaskets, just RTV sealant. I put Flowmaster Delta 40's and tucked the exhaust next to the frame by cutting holes/adding support in the crossmember. Very happy with the sound of the exhaust now.

Hi Mark,

I tend to agree with you and I will probably go the same route as you did with the shortys. I have clearence problems and I can't stand the scraping noise that is made no matter how careful I am.

Thanks for the advice and it also sounds like E.C. is a pretty good company by everybodys posts as this was a major cause for concern as they do not have a Canadian dealer that I can find.

Thanks,

john.

esll.
