Easy Header question
1977 L42 4spd. Motor is stock. I am looking for long tube headers that fit with no modifications. I also don't want them dragging on the ground. They are mating up with a 2.5" dual exhaust system that passes through the 2 openings in the cross member.
I am looking at Summit Racing online and they have several choices. The ones I am looking at are the Summit SUM-G9003 at $122.00 to Flowtech 11106FLT at $147.95 to Hedman 68300 at $175.97
I am not concerned about ceramic coating. My car is a garage kept rough around the edges driver. Its not a show car by any means and will never be. Does anybody have any experience with any of these. I want a set of long tube headers that I don't have to take half the engine compartment apart to install.

I have the summit headers. With any headers me sure you don't pull anything to line it up. That little extra strain is what leads to the dreaded leak. The guy that bent the pipe on one side of mine was off just a little and I had leaks. Took it all apart a few years ago made sure there was no bind and it's been happy ever since.

I don't have any experience with the headers that you are looking at. I can say that the Hooker Header set #2456HKR fits well and can be installed from underneath in less than an hour. A little more cost than what you're looking at but worth considering.
