i know they arent pretty but i paid $100 bucks for them with an ory, gm gaskets (new) and o2 extensions. anyways... are they still ok to install since the tube sticks out alittle over the manifold? i know on other ones, they sit flush but will this difference make it a problem or will it be fine?

Are they welded on the backside of the flang too?

just spot welded on about 4 spots per tube

That sucks I was gonna say if they were welded on the back side too to just grind the head side down with a flap wheel or take it to a mechine shop and have them milled down. So umm I dont know if I would feel comfortable installing them as is. If it were me Id weld the backside and mill the headside flush but thats me. Do you know what brand the LTs are?

nope. i laid a gasket over them and it covers the entire area so i dont think it would blow out. its only like 1-2 pennys high. nothing major

put them on a belt sander and sand the tubes down until they are flush with the flange

A belt sander would work nicely. I hadnt thought of that

these remind me of old sbc headers, youll be fine installing them the way they are.
