Default ANyone using the Hedman Long Tube 65180 Headers? I have questions

So I picked up these headers in a trade thinking they would be one hell of a header for my LT4. I was told I needed a special adaptor plate so I went looking on there site and see nothing about it. They are supposed to mount right up.

But I saw two things that worry me so I wanted to ask everyone else if they had used them or had any experiance with them.

1) It says you have to relocate your oil filter... has anyone had to do this to use these on our Camaro's? If so what did you use? A stock 350 relocation kit will that work just fine?

2) It mentions that you must use a "mini starter" again is this for the camaro and if so... how do I find one for our application anyone have apart number etc?

It looks like it might be easier for me to just sell these and look for another long tube setup. With how much these cost I need to find out what JEGS, etc charge because 1500 for headers.... jesus lol.

If anyone wants to trade I am all for it, I am running BBK's now and I just want long tubes and a different exhaust.
(I really want the old Vette Style Exhaust that site under the doors and end at the rear tires flared out)

you would probably be better off getting a set of headers made specifically for our cars. pacesetter makes a good header for 300 painted and i think around 350-400 coated.

I was reading that on their page... wonderful. So much for them being LT headers. Time to go back and tap someone on the sholder for some answers.
