headers and clearance
My current headers run low, below the frame and oilpan at the collector attachment point. i am thinking of switching them out.
I have read the threads on the Dynomax and have seen they ride higher than the frame.
The other option is Sandersons, but they seem to be the block hugger style, which I am not sure would alter performance. My main concern is performace fit and ground clearance.
Any real life clearance #'s and brands. I want to go with ceramic coated for heat, etc.. Thick flange would be nice.
Thanks in advance for all the input

Cool site. Weird thing is that I've got a 79 L48 and a Vuclan 800A too. Mine's black though and for sale. I need to money to modify the Vette :eek:

Vettefixr,
Very sharp H pipe. I have to do that to mine. Can you give me specifics on the exhaust system. Looks like we're using the same headers.

I have the coated Sandersons on my 406. I also have my own designed R&P. They gave me more room than I know what to do with. Also, no gaskets - just a little bead of Ultra Black. Sometimes things work out great! Dale
