I purchased my Long Tubes from TPIS. I was a cheap a$$ and only got the painted ones. For the extra $100.00 i could have & should have purchased the coated. They fit fine and considering I live in CA the smog guy already said it would pass. I put them on my 85.

Could you tell me the brand and maybe a part # I would check with manufactuer to see if they would work. In the mean time I will try to send you picture.

Hedman is another manufacturer.

I don't have a part number. These are out of production but they are NOS. They were made by Doug Thorley or Thorley's headers. These are two companies that began as the same company but one branched off after a divorce, is my understanding. Either way, Doug Thorley is an old drag racer going back to the 60s and his products are well known. These indeed do not have an EGR port as I understand was the case for the very earliest C4s. They do have the A.I.R. hook-ups. They are indeed for a C4 as I was told when I purchased them. The Y-pipe could be for nothing else but a C4. Also they slid into place easily even on my '95, but did have a slight interference problem on the right side with the late style HVAC box. I test fitted them while working on my car one time out of curiosity. These headers are extremely well built with 3/8" flanges, heavy gauge pipes and are a slip-fit to the Y-pipe. The Y-pipe's rear flange fits the early style c4 cat. They have 1 5/8" primary tubes and are nickle-chrome plated. I would imagine if these were being produced today, they'd be a $600-700 set of headers like all of your best C4 headers are. I'm not asking that much but I'm not giving them away either. If you're interested, I do have some pictures I can send.
