The link is for pre-ordering 1 7/8" Longtubes for 1998-2002 F-Body. We received our prototype for fitment testing etc. Everything fit correctly the first time. So we currently have a batch in the middle of production. ETA is approx 1-2 months.

Just installed these yesterday. For it being our first header install I'd say it went pretty smooth and only took about 8 hours, most of our time was spent tearing off the old exhaust. The only thing that we had to remove was the dipstick (of course) and the coil packs to give us a little extra room. The headers slid right in after a finagling, but the y-pipe gave us a little trouble on the drivers side. One of the pipes was basically resting on the corner of the transmission cross-member (the car is an A4) so we had to massage it a little to give us some clearance. Other than that it was an exceptionally smooth install and man do these things look good! I would definitely do it again and recommend them to any one on a budget.
Otherwise the headers went in great.

Glad to hear. Ya, a lot of Y-Pipes hit on that spot. Its been a common issue for quite a few years. Trying to keep as much ground clearance without getting too close to the bottom of the car. In fact when Thunder Racing was around they use to sell a kit that bolted up to the Y-Pipe, and the bottom of the car. It would push the two away from each other stopping the vibration from happening. Kinda cheesy, but it worked.

I love my race version speed engineering headers. they installed very easy and have great ground clearance and great engine bay clearance especially by the steering shaft. the only complaint is on the drivers side the collector points up tward the floor pan. when installing my texas speed true duals I had to do use my exhaust bending machine at work to make the pipes for the tsp duals fit correct on the drivers side. but these are great headers and I will make great power with them...
