Can you comment on the amount of setback required to install these? 0" or 1"?

I'm trying to avoid pushing the motor too far back and causing issues with clearance between the coils and AC box.

There is your link: http://instagram.com/p/jSepZUCdKa/

And cost/specs/availability would be helpful... because if I am going to go this route I need to know how/what/when I am getting myself into.

But, congrats for FINALLY being the first to market with a STAINLESS G-body swap header.

The placement of the number 2 primary (front passenger side) makes me worry that it wont clear the factory AC box.

These have already been fitted and road tested. No worries.

Hello all,

May name is Louie Filippides. During any prototype process we take all measures into account, including engine placement and A/C. After purchasing a set of ARH it's important for you as the consumer to know that we have your back. Quality and customer service are most important to us.

Starting price is $995.00 for 1-3/4" primaries with 3" collectors and goes up from there depending on your application. Primary sizes go up to 2" and stepped headers are also available.


With that said, here is a picture for you all. Thanks!

How about some pics of then installed on a car? And what mounts are used? Stock location, 1 inch setback, 1 inch forward? I don't mean to be a jerk but these questions have been repeatedly asked in 3 different threads.

Here you go buddy, sorry for the wait. I needed to wait until today this morning to get the photos. 1" forward and 1" back is a non issue.

Thanks for the pics, more would be better but that's just because I like staring at car **** . And for the mounts I always thought stock and 1" back should be possible, not sure how 1" forward would help but I'd bet someone will find a reason for it.

Looks good. I know price is right inline for the quality & design they are, but not sure when me (& a lot of others) can squeeze that amount in for headers around more important items . High up on the current wish list though.

I'm sure they'd make a nice improvement over my 11 year old street & performance 1 5/8" mid length swap headers (they suck) & be much easier to install than me modifying china f-body stainless headers good enough to suit me.

I ordered mines about a week ago with a 3 bolt flange so I'll soon see how they fit.
