I got 94 ta with BBK Headers I don't like them to hard to get at spark plugs is there better long tube headers that do not inter fear with any thing I no it gets snug no mater what but any ideas will be helpful. thanks

 

Pacesetters are pretty popular nowadays, but if you're mechanically inclined the stainless steel eBay knock-offs are pretty hard to beat (research some of the issues with them).

 

Mine involved grinding the k-member a little bit, you'll have to slide the steering shaft over too. The sound is amazing and was worth it. I bought speed daddy headers, I don't think they're on ebay anymore.

Ohh and delete the EGR while you're at it, mine idled so much smoother without it.

 

If your car idled better after deleting the EGR, then your valve was bad.

 

...haven't seen any stainless off-brand headers on eBay for several weeks

 

I've had Hooker Longtubes on my '97 since 2003. They fit great, went in really easy and didn't have to beat or grind on anything to get them in. Ground clearance is pretty good too.

 

I use pacesetters on my Car and they fit perfect, my wifes car has kooks and there just perfect in every way. both cars sound great with them

 

what are you all using for y-pipes?
when i bought my 97 z the previous owner installed pace setters with a welded on y-pipe but it hits when you get on the throttle. how is you alls y-pipe routed?

suggestions on that too plz

 

I am running pacesetters here with 3 inch y pipe. I like them and they fit well but I think plugs are going to be a pain in the *** no matter what you go with. I've gotten pretty good with mine but the first time or two is always fun on anything having to so with the lt1. I can get to all of mine pretty good except on the passenger side I always have fun getting to the third hole back. Other side is fairly easy

 

bolt on y but if I go long tube headers that will go with the BBK headers. how is it for changing the plugs with the long tube hooker headers

 

Have been using Hooker headers on mine for a while. Changing plugs is pretty easy to do with them. Just bought a used set of Kooks that i will be putting on.

 

Yeah... changing plugs with the Hookers is pretty easy. I do however have to get the number 6 plug from under the car. Still pretty easy to get to though. Not to mention that I have big hands too.

 

did you delete the egr if so it throws the check lite on correct

 

I love my Jethot longtubes. Pretty good plug access for longtubes

 

kook look nice but expensive stainless tho. let my no how you like them and how the access for plugs are

 

yes I no it hard to get at the plugs no mater what. try doing it with a pair of BBk shorty's I would rather pull the engine out again then take them off.

 

I have Hookers too, Hookers rock. I like to say Hookers.

 

if you want pacesetters PM me.

 

Plugs are cake with an swival socket and 2 extentions.

 

I think any long tube header would fit as long as you have good motor mounts.
