Default G-body headers

Does anyone know if the hooker part # 2468 fits the same ans 2253. Hooker just told me the 2253 is not made any more and i dont want to pay for the coated headers, wont be on the street much.

I called them awhile back and they acted like they had to make them, not in stock. Not sure though.

John, are those headers actually made to fit a g-body chassis? I didn't know Schoenfeld is located in Van Buren. Thats only abot 75 miles from me.

The tube design and model numbers appear to match the G-body but I haven't personally verified this with them.

This is a good topic. G-body cars can still be had for a reasonable price, and they are perfect candidates for LSx swaps. I have an 87 Regal Limited I'd like to put an LSx in and was wondering about headers too.

Hooker makes a set but they are expensive. I don't know how good the fit is on them. I just modified a set of Patriot Clipsters for a BBC.

I wonder what motor mounts they used? If they just made the pan clear? Do they have them in stock?

Does anyone make headers that bolt up to the factory y-pipe for a f-body ? I had planned on keeping the stock cats and manifolds, but now that Illinois is getting rid of emissions tests for my car........

Those schoenfeld headers look interesting especially for the money.

Well i got the hooker 2468`s in they are a comp version, not super comp, they fit about like the 98 camaro super comps. I just did a little grinding on the frame, and clearanced the #2 tube just a little not to bad. I am making my own mounts, pan clears cross member, they fit pretty good for not being made for the car, $280,
I would like to see how the shoenfelds fit.

Good to hear that! I just bought a set last week. Do you have any pics of them installed?
