Are the O2 ports on the proper side for the AIR versions yet?

Speed Engineering do yall plan to change the clamps or offer another type of band? I just hate to spend more money on other clamps.

I think I am going to buy SE headers and tsp y pipe. Open to opinions on this as well.

Clamps are fine. Y-Pipes just need 1/2"-1" slits cut in the connection points prior to installing. We mentioned it above. TSP Y's have the same issue.

LFSADRG: No, I believe we also mentioned it earlier. The Air/EGR version is more of a generic version we get out of China. Its not proprietary to us, and we don't plan on creating a new Air/EGR version.

Thanks

You're referring to pipe extensions to run from the mufflers (which would normally dump under the car) out the rear bumper -- not oxygen sensor extensions that every-brand header requires, correct?

As mentioned in my write-up, TSP uses identical clamps for their systems as well. The easiest/cheapest way to handle it is notch the female pipe as Sean mentioned. The clamps they send aren't junky clamps; however, the pipes are slighter larger ID for what I assume to be ease of install. Again, this is the same situation one will encounter with TSP.

The only clamp concern that one may have is the clamp for the intermediate pipe. As I mentioned previously, it's 2.75", so one needs to salvage the factory clamp (which has a small tack weld) or you'll need to have a smaller clamp ready for the install as the kits (again, this is also a TSP issue) only come with 3" clamps.

In the future, hopefully NEAR future, will there be 1 7/8" and 2" diameter primaries available ?

Would they be available on both race and non-race headers ?

Thanks !

Anyone that could get me a measurement on how low they drop down?

I am trying to see if they will be below the frame or not on my c10.

A measurement from the flange down to the top or bottom of the collector would be awesome!

Thanks

Probably within a year we should have an 1 7/8" longtube header for the 98-02 F-Bodys. It all depends on sales etc.

Thanks

I purchased a set of headers on ebay about 3 years ago but ebay wont let me go that far back to see history. Even so I wanna say these were purchased from speed engineering back then but not entirely sure. If so, I would have to agree fitment is amazing and so is quality for budget stainless headers. Really enjoying mine since install.
