![]() I am also using the Flowmaster 2.5 exhaust system and they both tuck up nicely under the body. I have not started the car since the installation so for the performance, I don't know. For both sides a couple of bolts were a bit trickey. Close to the oil filter but I am using a ford oil filter (oil cooler line adapter plate used) so I can't say about a stock application. side.ġ0 Posted by Jim Filak on August 2, 2004, 5:35 pm, in reply to "Re: Headers and Application"įit passengers side: Not horrible, but not like the drivers side. ing header bolts with a 3/8 head rather than 7/16 head makes a world of difference.ĩ Posted by Steveo on August 3, 2004, 7:57 pm, in reply to "Headers and Application"įit: No problem, although I had to lift engine a bit to clear on the pass. uld not fit regular oil filter in place.instead use a WIX #51522 (longer/thinner) and screws right into place. I know.sounds a little bush but it works great now and probably the strongest part of the entire clutch linkage. So anyway fabricated a new countershaft using an old chisel. Turns out the countershaft on the clutch linkage which mounts to the block at one end and to the frame at the other could not fit through the primary tubes and line up (too thick). After this the headers on passenger side didnot need denting, however driver side needed denting around the powersteering pump.Īlso my Cat is lowered so I welded on 1/4 steel plate to the bottom to protect the headers.ħ Posted by Scott on August 2, 2004, 9:26 pm, in reply to "Headers and Application"įit: (Your basic pain in the butt header install but no banging or denting to install.)Ĩ Posted by Mike J on August 4, 2004, 2:25 pm, in reply to "Headers and Application"įit: Turned into a bit of an effort considering it is a 4-spd, though sales guy said they would bolt right up. Driveshaft had to be shortened 1" since engine was pushed back. ![]() Engine had to be moved 1" back, lifted 3/8" on passenger side and 5/8" on drivers side(so motor mount modification). Part Number: Don't remember (in Iraq right now so can't reference yet)Ĭost: $700 (included new 3" pipes throughout)įit: Lots of mods. I am very happy with these headers - no discoloration like the previous Thorleys.Ħ Posted by John-Henry on August 3, 2004, 10:42 am, in reply to "Headers and Application" The passenger side header collector is about 3 inches from the floorboard-so some fabrication is required to run proper clearance on your piping. If I had it to do over again, I'd use the RA Reproduction manifolds as I'm not racing this car.ĥ Posted by Nacho on August 2, 2004, 5:48 pm, in reply to "Re: Headers and Application"įit: Very simple to install - much easier than my old 3 tube Thorley headers. My car is running low-profile tires in front and I'm always bouncing the headers off the ground. 3/8 ARP SS manifold bolts were only way to get headers installed. Had to dent the snot out of them to get them to fit. Using short WIX filter and end up dumping oil all over the header trying to get it out. ![]() ![]() Can remove both with headers in place.Ĥ Posted by Kendall on August 3, 2004, 11:14 am, in reply to "Headers and Application" Oh, the knuckles!ģ Posted by Nasty on August 2, 2004, 11:05 pm, in reply to "Re: Headers and Application"įit: very well, needed to dimple #4 tube just a tad to clear upper A-Arm. Just started process of pulling engine for some new modifications and am not looking forward to putting the headers back in. 030 over, Eagle Stroker kit, 9.5 c/r.įit: Passenger side no problems, driver side 4th tube ran into frame, needed to be cut, replaced and welded. No clearance issues, no linkage problems, no oil filter problem, no a/c ( I took it out )Ģ Posted by Bob with the 66 on August 3, 2004, 11:55 am, in reply to "Headers and Application"Įngine: 455. on August 2, 2004, 5:40 pm, in reply to "Re: Headers and Application"įit: They were a mother to install. The information provided may be helpful to you.ġ Posted by John C. The provided information and testimonials about their headers. In August of 2004 I solicited information from Pontiac enthusiasts about their headers. Headers are like buying a good pair of shoes except you don't get to slip them on and off to see if they fit good and give the proper appearance and function before you buy them. We all go through it! At some point we make a decision to get rid of those cast iron log exhaust manifolds and go for the gusto and the increased power provided by tubular headers.
