My performance shop is saying that because of the floor design, my only option on a 1991 camaro vert is shorty headers and that long tubes are not an option? Thoughts?

 

it can be done. they just dont feel like doing the work. there where some nice posts around here with pictures of it done. youll have to search. is it harder and less driveable INDEED but is it doable INDEED AS WELL

find another mechanic while your at it.

 

LOL at the last sentence ^^

 

The Stainless Works headers from Hawks Third Gen tuck up a bit nicer than Hooker's long tubes. I haven't seen pics of Headmans Long tubes in awhile.

Regardless, they're all going to be low. Annoyingly low.

 

Hooker Super Comp 1 3/4 headers, with hand-fabricated Y-pipe, ceramic coated. I've lightly whacked them on the interstate, south of Bowling Green KY on a bad section of highway that was under construction. Other than that, there's not been any significant scraping or interference. I've cut the coils 1/2 coil to drop it as well.

Hope that helps,

 

Great pics tx!

 

Don't drive on anything but flat blacktop.

 

I think I've got the best clearance you can get with long tube Hooker headers. I've crunched them once: on the interstate 65, about 15 miles south of Bowling Green Kentucky. They were doing road construction on an overpass that crosses a river, and they had messed up the expressway so bad that I gouged chunks out of my oilpan and split the suspension's bump stops. I don't know much one can do to prevent that kind of impact. It's supposed to be an expressway for cryin' out loud, not a mogul-filled ski hill!
