Default Gbody LS Swap Hedman Headers P/N 45050 2" Primaries?

Any one tried or see someone use Hedman Headers Part# 45050 in a GBody with an LS?
2" Primary Header with 3" collector.
Interested to see how they fit?
Thanks,

I have the 1 7/8" long tubes and they are really close to the ground. if ground clearance is an issue you may want to look at other headers.

I would think twice about using the Hedman brand headers. My passenger side was about 2 to 2 1/2 inches lower than the drivers side. After many pictures sent to Hedman they told me to send it back to them. Sent it back to them on July 7,2014. They received it on July 11th @ 12:14 Pm. THEY STILL HAVE IT and today is 3/18/15. In the meantime my car is without a header. NOW do you want to go through that should you have a problem??? GOOD LUCK if you do go with Hedman. You have been warned. They even refuse to answer all my Certified letters as well as letters that have been sent to them by the Georgia Office of Consumer Protection. The same with BRP Hot Rods who I purchased the Headers and conversion kit from. CUSTOMER SAERVICE FROM BOTH PLACES SUCK. Rich

Can you shoot me a pic of the ground clearance?
Is your motor in the stock position or set back?
Thanks,

Shitty to hear about the customer service.
Do you have any pics of the headers installed?

Yes I do have some. Send me a PM with your Email address as I do not know how to post pictures to the forum. I will gladly send you some. Even though Hedman has my right side header since July of 2014 I took pics to send to them prior to shipping my header to them. Rich

Considering the headers are only a bit lower than the pan I'd be okay with that.

Thanks again!
