Good luck. I have been asking and it seems people have them but don't see no pics. I am picking up from a friend a hooker block hugger to try on mine. I want to make sure the side exhaust goes up straight to the header so I do not have to do a bunch of turns. I will up date you.

Any experience with Block huggers on factory sidepipes, thinking of clearance around the steering box ? Also what part no Hedman pipes has been used for a 350 smallblock ?

The headers look like they are full run headers. I was looking into the block huggers so the exhaust pipe will go straight up to the flange. Also I am running aluminum heads with angle plugs so they won't work. I was thinking of using Hookers but I heard there is a long lead time. Still waiting for pics also. I guess we will have to do a trial and error process .

Posting Pictures
00fxd,
I just learned how to post pictures, and this seems to be the easiest way--it takes about 30 seconds:
1--reply to the thread on the Corvette Forum
2--open another Internet Explorer window (keep the reply window open)
3--go to http://tinypic.com/
4--hit "browse" and you can search your computer files for a photo
5--hit "host picture" and wait for it to give you 4 options
6--click on the "img" line and make sure that the whole line is selected, and hold down "ctrl" then hit "c" at the same time [in order to Copy the line]
7--in the body of your message where you want to insert your photo, hold down "ctrl" then "v" [in order to Paste the line].
I liked tinypic.com because they will auto resize larger photos and it is free. Good Luck!

I see it worked! Good advice adrenaline. I didn't know they'd quite that big. I could have resized them before posting. Next time.......
I don't use those IROC wheels. They were just on for some service I was doing.
