Question Header help please
Dilemma, in the pic you can see the rusty flange of my standard header, I need to buy new tubular ones, but haven`t much room cause of the subframe.



LT s will be too low, I think
Do you think mid lengths would fit ok ?

Mid lengths will probably be your best bet. Take some more pics of the area you have to work with.

Yea, shorties, or mid-length headers may be your best bet.
Edelbrock shorties or Mac mids are a couple choices.

Thanks bud, what I need is a supplier over here that would lend me some to try, but there`s only a Monaro dealer nearby, going there today to see what they`ve got, probably just LT s.
