No way, if the pipes are too big, you just need a bigger motor. See how easy that was to solve.

i like the factory style..but they are crazy expensive. I like the hookers too, so it comes down to how much you want to spend and what looks you like.

There's something that doesn't work for my car on every header/exhaust system out there (including Stahls), so I'm going to have to "rig" a sidepipe setup. At least it will be unique. It's boiling down to Sanderson headers under the hood, and Hooker sidepipes for size and external viewing "bling bling". I'll have to weld up the pipe in between the two.

Please update us when you install your new side exhaust. Yours is one set-up i'm considering and would like to know what you think about it.
Thanks

Default I'm just wondering......

how much of a bee-yotch the installation of the Hooker setup would be on my '78. How much "stuff" needs to come off the motor and out of the engine compartment in order to slip the headers in and get them bolted up????
