Exhaust

Has anyone had experience with the fit up of the dual exhaust system available from Summit for $250? Sounds like a great deal and comes with Walker Dynamax headers, dual pipes and turbo mufflers. I'm concerned with problems I've heard with with steering linkage on F-body hitting headers and any other fit problems you may have experienced when going to straight dualies.
P.S. I'm on a tight budget!

they should fit like a glove depending on that size of piping u get. 2.5/ 2.25 will go right on... 3" should fit but it can be a bit tight when they go over the rear axle

I have seen a few guys have trouble with the tailpipes rattling against the leafs on these cars with "bolt on" kits. I think they fit pretty good though and if you do have some issues you can adjust it enough to get rid of any rattles. The hardest thing is fitting a bigger muffler on these cars in a good spot. My rear seat floors got "adjusted" to fit my flowmasters .

What about header choices? Any considerations needed for clearance to steering linkages?
