Okay before i posted up about how my hooker headers tuck up soo much that it hits the floorboard. Well now im installing my td's onto them and because they tuckup soo much i cant even bolt my reducer up to it because of where the feul lines drop down....WHAT SHOULD I DOO!

What TD system? My headers tucked that high and my TSP system wasn't a problem. I need to BFH the floorpan a bit, but other than that, they got on just fine. My only thought is that you have to use that 3-bolt transition, that might be making them go out TOO far... My pacesetters just had a slip fit. That might be your issue?

Well what I meant was, your hooker headers have a 3-bolt collector flange, whereas many LTs for the LS1 are slip fit. what I'm saying is, the fact that you have to have that reducer bolted onto the END of your header might be pushing the duals further back than intended. What LT did the previous guy have?

Ohhh ok now I see it. My headers cleared it, barely, but cleared it. It seems as though if the whole header/reducer setup were a few inches shorter it'd work. I don't really know how to work around that. Answer this, where the duals attach to the reducer, do they drop down in the direction of the ground, kind of like a zig zag or just a straight shot?
