Default Headers...

Are the exotic muscle long tube headers the only ones that will fit an 85 vette with no grinding, cutting, or modification of any sort??

Yea but headers are seperated by the years 84-87 then 88+ unfortunantly the headers you have on your car wont fit mine. I have just been lookin around and it seems that almost every header system out there for the 85s requires some sort of grinding or cutting except for the exotic muscles.
