I have had these sitting in the garage for a couple of months and noticed how ugly the stock manifolds look...

so, I decided to slap them on. The first thing I did was remove the piece that holds on the brake lines to the frame (hard to see here but its there, or at least it was)

The instructions said to turn the wheel all the way to the right, I just removed the wheel...and the rear shock mount. I gently moved my brake lines out of the way and made sure there were no wires in the way. Then slid the pipes up between the frame and the inner fender...and started my bolts from the center out.

Looks much better! Sounds way cool ( I guess its a bad idea to run striaght headers...especially on a Sunday, when you live across the street from a Mormon church!)

the rear shock mounted back up with no problems, the passenger side is pretty straight forward, I had to tweak the inner fender a little, and it rides close to the body mount, but it doesn't hit anything. Still need to mount the pipes and mufflers...but they are on and look so much better!

ordered them from my local machine shop...

looks great. what does the tire clearence look like? think they going to rub or hit the pipes?....mike

looks good, I was wondering how fenderwell headers would work with 38.5s as well. More pictures showing tire clearance would be appreciated. :thumbup
thanks

I'll try to get some tomorrow...

Wow those look really good. I have questions if you dont mind. I looked up the site and it shows two types for the 78-79. What would be the physical differences between the two. And how much did the elite ones cost? And I love those valve covers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any update on clearance at full lock with the big tires?:popc1:
