Default G body with BRP headers with 4L80

Do the BRP headers (1 7/8 LT's) fit in a G body (87 monte) with the 4L80?

Dang now I'm mad, the only company i could find that made bolt in swap headers at the time of my swap was BRP.. 850 bucks.. So I had to "massage" a brand new set of pacesetters for an f body.. i would have gladly paid the cost of the Hedmans to not have to do so again.

Hedman Hustler Header is the same as BRP you just have the option of ceramic vs. non with Hedman on the Website.

May be an option from BRP too but not posted if it is.

the hedman listed above (45010) is 1 3/4 and the ones I'm wondering about are 1 7/8 primaries...on the hedman site, both sizes list compatible with 4l60 and 4l65 but no mention of 4l80. Just wondering if anybody is runing the 1 7/8 with the 4l80?

i dont see the difference being too much between the 1-3/4 and the 1-7/8 headers. the routing is going to be the same, just the primaries are going to be a tad bigger
