Default gen 4 F-body long tubes on A-body

I was wondering if anyone has used F-body specific long tubes on their LS swapped A-bodies. TSP is having a good sale and since I need long tubes, these might be the come-up I need.

Not sure about Texas Speed's headers, but I have seen the cheap ebay headers work with minimal modification: heating the tubes and using a come along to pull the collector straight rather than being kicked out to the side of the car

If I had the extra cash I would order some 1 7/8"s to try on mine, I bet they fit better than my Doug's swap headers do...

I appreciate it. I like the price for the TSP's and the LY6 would love these I am sure. If I can get a positive answer by COB today, I will pull the trigger.

I was thinking the same thing, only to replace my Eddelbrock swap headers.

I would also like some "real world" feedback on this...from all my research, I think these are the ones that fit our A-bodys the best.

I think Lonnie said in another post they may run out of the 3/4" ones fairly soon...but mentioned they had a lot of the 7/8" on hand...(I think they are only 30 bucks more.)

Someone has had to have used these on an A-body...

I used a set of pacesetters for my 72 chevelle they worked finr the only mods needed is on the drivers side the f-body angles towards the outside. My exhaust shop just made a piece to curve it back to the stock exhaust.
