Headers on my 94
Hey guys, I would like to put a set of Dougs Headers on my 94. They are shorty headers that are EO Approved for emissions. They claim to be "bolt on". I am worried about clearance and plug wires fitting. Anyone have experience or input you can share? I have included a picture of the headers here. Thank you in advance.

Ruger, as others have said the expense and hassle of installing shorty headers doesn't make sense if a power increase is your goal. Sounds like you don't have options for long-tubes at this time. Does California have a 25-year-old classic car exemption from emissions testing? If so, you're only a year away. Maybe wait until then?

Thank you guys for the information and feedback. As always I appreciate it. I believe we are at 1978 for smog not being needed here in California. So I am a ways away from that. That being said I have called and talked to Lloyd Elliot and am thinking about his cam/heads package. He says that with a tune I will be good for smog.
