hey, I know this one! Dynomax #289-86118

Just a warning. They are 1 1/2 primarys and 2 1/2" collectors. Oky for stock.

I am looking into Sandersons. Hopefuly they will have 1 5/8" or 1 3/4" to 3" collectors.
I want a system that will handle any small block I could put under my hood in time.

Don't Buy Hedman Headers For Lowered Trucks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My current headers hang too low and sometimes scrape. I bought a set that end just below the valve covers. I will have a muffler shop connect them to the existing exhaust system and you won't be able to see them at all.

I was reading those posts devin listed. Do the dynomax's have any issues with hitting the frame?

Hooker comps(#2452 painted). You wont lay the frame with these, the collectors hang 2 - 2 1/4" below the rails.....but for a lowered truck,they work good. 69L
