Re: Long tube headers? (mackeyred96)
I'm using TPIS long tubes they fit with no issues at all:D All you need to do is have a muffler shop add some tubing to extend the collectors to your cat back. If you need to run catalytic converters I would suggest Car Sound bullet style that are affordable and high flowing. They would replace the extension pipes or you can flange up both ends remove them whenever you like. I hear that automatic cars are space limited, so might not be possible.

Re: Long tube headers? (Midnight)
I would suggest the Hooker headers built for the L98. You will have to customize your exhaust a little, but it is well worth it. The Hookers are a lot of bang for the buck!
You can see them in our Corvette Forum Mall. Follow the link in my sig.
Feel free to give us a call or drop us an email if you have any questions.

You got plenty of room for cat with a 6m. I also have the TPIS. They are more money, and well worth it, but thats your choise.

Re: Long tube headers? (Midnight)
I have the Long Tubes from Exotic Muscle ( http://www.exoticmuscle.com ) They fit great and have the Air Tube bungs welded on them. I had DRM's on order but after 2 months of waiting they told me it would be another 6 weeks so I cancelled and ordered from EM instead. They were $680.00 Coated and shipped.

Re: Long tube headers? (corvette1990)
I have the TPIS headers on an LT1 right now as well as a set of headers on an LT1 right now. I can tell you that the fit is great with both, maybe just a hair better on the TPIS, but it is really a toss-up!!! The think I like about the Hookers is easier plug access and more clearance from the plug wires.
