Headers question

Ripped a hole in my headers, did I mention streets in Birmingham are THE WORST I have ever driven on!!!!!

Feel better now, now for the questions.

TPIS cannot get them for several weeks and I do not like their design.
I cannot get ahold of anybody at Melrose and Hedman Elites are a 2 week wait.

I can get Hookers now, but I have know idea how they would fit on a LT1, the Hedman's fit ok and am wondering does anybody have a set on a LT1 and my car has the stock exhaust w/hi flow bullit cats.

Now, does the headers have o2 bung(s) or do I need to get reducers w/bungs?

Is there any fitment issues?

Also, most importantly, is there any problems w/exhaust leaks?

Thanks

Interestingly enough ... I have a driver's side Exotic Muscle header for 91-96 sitting around. In case that's the side you damaged.

If it is a primary tube that has a hole in it, it can be repaired (unless a great deal of the tube is smashed too. Clean up the hole, cut out a piece of 2" exhaust tubing, bend it to match the contour and weld in place. This will actually reinforce the area and act as a skid plate.

If they sold them individually, I would have just gotten a driver's side replacement, lol. Good point on mixing them though, I probably wouldn't either.
