    those are not the collectors that come with these headers so i'm not sure if the ones that do come with it will work. the ones on there my grandpa made and they work fine for me. :yup: notice the bend on the passenger side collector so that it would clear under the firewall. other than that I had to make a small dent after the collector on the exhaust pipe to clear the pitman arm at full lock which was very simple.

    i've been happy with these. i havn't had any leaks with them and they sound awesome :yup: and the rest of my exhaust is 2.5 off the header and 2.25 out the muffler

    Thanks for the pics. They really help give me an idea how the shorties are going to fit with my setup. I'm sure I'll be contacting you again when I'm ready to drop the 302 in and install the headers.

    Thanks again
