2nd ones look like speed bump scrapers.
I bought a set of the 3/4 length chevelle headers and they look like the ones in the 1st pic?? Someone had a pic of them on his truck.

I took a pair of Hooker Super Comps off of my truck with the 77 chassis and put them on my daughters 72 Blazer and they fit fine. The passenger header was really close to the shackle bolt but it was ok.

YEH KURT, I THOUGHT ABOUT THOSE, JUST NOT SURE ABOUT SPENDING THAT MUCH, LOOKS LIKE FOR THE BEST RESULTS YOU WOULD NEED TO RUN THEIR ADAPTERS ALSO, THAT PUTS YOU AT $500.00 MINIMUM.

You can buy the donut sleeve, flange, donut for around $48 both sides from Corvette America. 29384 2.5 donut sleeve 29378 2.5 donut 29374 2.5 flange Might be able to get from GM also since I think vettes had 2.5 exhaust through 82

Will the "corvette style" ramhorns even fit the 2WD trucks...as the exhaust dumps straight down, I would think it would become an issue clearing the engine cradle cross-member using 2.5" pipe at such a bend....If some one is using them, please reply or better yet, include pics.

Just A Update, After 17, Yes I Said 17, Phone Calls In The Last 2
Weeks To Summit, And 3 Calls Today To Headman Headquarters, I Finally Got What I Needed From Jeg's, Summit Has Got To Have Some Of The Biggest Idiots Working For Them, They Gave Me A Part # And Said It Would Fit, Called Back, No It Won't Fit, Did This Several Times With 5 Different Part #'s, Anyways Here Is What I Got, This Is The 2wd Version, The 4wd Version Pic's Are Not Updated, But This Give You An Idea Of What The Look Like, Best Part About Them, Ball Collector Flanges, Alot Less Leaks, And They Are Ceramic Coated, Should Outlast Me For Sure

Nice System - How much ?
A BIG thanks for sorting through all the bull for the rest of us. What's the kit # and How much for the whole system? I'm looking to do a dual hidden system on the '70 in stainless. Any body got the goods on it ? I'm planning to dump down without going over the rear axle and here in Canada the law states that we have to keep the same pollution controls that it came with originally or face a $380 fine . That's why older is better!!!!!

The counter help at Summit's retail store in Reno is real bad as well. I don't think they hire from a matrix that is geared towards people with automotive knowledge. They are looking for people that will work for a minimum amount of money. I buy everything I can from Jegs now. I'll only go to Summits Reno store if I need it right now. A few guy's I work with do the same thing.

IF YA WANT LONG TUBES, AND OF COURSE IF THESE HEADMAN ELITE CERAMIC COATED IS A BRAND YOU CAN LIVE WITH, IT'S #HED-69088 WHICH IS THE MODEL # PITURED ABOVE, IF YA WANT SHORTY'S, IT'S #HED-69648 LIKE PICTURED BELOW, THE PRICE DIFF BETWEEN THESE 2 IS ABOUT $5, LOOKS LIKE AROUND $310 TO YOUR DOOR (USA) *P.S. - THEY DO NOT MAKE SHORTY'S FOR ANY OF THE 4WD'S, THE WEBSITE SAYS THEY DO, BUT HEADMAN SAYS THEIR SIGHTS WRONG
