After you get the bolted in, post up if you have any fitment issues....

Mine are touching the fuel lines on the left frame rail, I'll probably end up rerouting the fuel lines to give me some room to put a heat sheild in, so its not a big deal....

But yeah, if you want a thirdgen LS1 long tube, Hawks is the place to go.

I never realized till recently, but they are fairly close to my fuel/brake lines too. I might just try to shield them.

my passenger side header rubs the frame rail, BAD.
vibrates like all hell at idle.
im gonna have to weld a turnbuckle to it and put it to a tranny pan bolt and snug it up to keep it off the frame.
its very annoying.

So I finally got my hawks lt headers and I remembered about this commet so I when ahead and mocked them up to see about the clearance issues. Well it turns out the fuel and break lines are kinda touching the header and are also touching the frame on the passanger side which well prolly cause alot of annoying noise. I'm also seeing that the spohn cross member well also be on the way. I guess im gonna have to do some mods to make these headers work after I bolt up the trans which well be a th350.

you are gonna have to cut on the bellhousing of the th350 also. i pretty much choopped my spohn x memeber to fit around the headers.
mine too bangs the passenger side, and its the MOST ANNOYING NOISE when comming to a stop, or idling in a parking lot. doesnt really do it unless in gear.
i got a piece of 5/8 plywood and cut a block and hammered it in between the two. problem solved. its painted black and tucked up, so you cant tel its there unless you are right under the car looking at the collector.

Did you guys just buy the hedders and have a shop make you a y-pipe back, or did you buy the hedders with the y-pipe? Any clearence issues with the y-pipe if you have the Hawks one?

StevenK

I did not opt for the Y-Pipe because I wanst sure if it would fit, and it was too pricey, I'm just going to have whomever does the exhaust to the Y-pipe at the same time.

Sounds to me like Bruce needs to have his header guys make a new version of these headers that stays off the frame rails...

mine is custom.
hawks is too pricy for what it is, and i wasnf fond of the routing.

THIRD-GEN92

I finally finished mocking up the transmission and headers and all I did was cut the ears off the TH350 and i also rerouted the fuel lines through the inside of the rails and made a heat shield for the break lines. I also did the same for the transmission lines as well, I ran them inside the rails all the way to the front of the car and connected them to the trans cooler. The y pipe shouldent be a big deal, there's enough room inbetween the x member to connect the y together, Im sure my friend at the muffler shop can pull it off.
I'll post some pics later when its all done.

the y pipe is a tricky one with the spohn x member. i forgot, but i had to relocate my tranny lines as well.

I also haad to reroute the fuel line and put a thero shield heat shield on the brake line. I also made my own tranny cross member out of 1/4 in steel to go up and over the y-pipe and it was well worth it. Here is a pic of the y-pipe.

not sure how that homeade y pipe is for power, but looks like you did some nice work getting them to tuck from what i can tell.

yeah it has great ground clearance it is a 2.5in into 3in. with a cutout a little farther back. Im going to have it dynoed pretty soon so ill post some numbers through the cutout and through the flowmaster system. But with my 355 i had in it before and the same exhaust i made 22 rear wheel horse just by opening the cutout and usually saw about 2 to 3 tenths at the track.
