New Headers (Pic's)
 

I finally got my butt in gear and did some work to "GQ", I'm not finished
with it because the new computer showed up the same day about two
hours after I started on the blazer, here are a few pic's, the spec's on
these are on the 67-72 message board under "parts website rant" ;)

PIC #1 OLD HEADER INSTALLED (DRIVERS)
PIC #2 OLD HEADER REMOVED ON FLOOR
PIC #3 NEW HEADER LAYING ON MY FLOOR
PIC #4 DIFFERANCE IN LENGTH / POSITION
PIC #5 NEW HEADER INSTALLED (DRIVERS)

*pipe in pick #4 is hanging low, just a FYI

:bling:

Those look really nice! Who makes them? Part #? It looks like they may fit with a manual tranny too. The previous owner of mine had to bend one of the tubes a bit to fit them in with the clutch Z-bar. I'm going to replace them one of these days.

Part #'s and more info on 67-72 measage board, see above discription ;)
*post #23 is the correct info for the set I have purchased and installed

Are those ceramic coated? They look sharp. What size is the rest of your exhaust tubing?

much better looks like they will flow nice! (hooker maybe? )

HEADMAN ELITES (NEW FOR 2005 - COMES W/ BALL FLANGES)

YES, THEY ARE CERAMIC COATED, PAID $274 TO MY DOOR. :cool:
I CUT ALL OF THAT OTHER DOWN AND THREW IT AWAY TODAY,
I HAVE A SET OF TURNDOWNS SO I CAN DRIVE IT TO THE SHOP,
GETTING 2.5" ALUMINIZED PIPES, STAINLESS MAGNAFLOWS, &
STAINLESS TIPS TURNED OUT IN FRONT OF THE REAR WHEELS.

Nice headers! I like the "ball flanges". Just a note,...for anyone running the gasket style collector,... Back in the 80's we use to use exhaust "donuts" from a 427 big truck, exhaust manifolds. They were made of steel and wouldn't blow out like a paper gasket. Seems like they wedged in the collector perfectly. I had them on my '71 Chevelle headers, in high school.

Progress
 

Thanks for doing the homework Craig. :c2:
They look like their a great fit/finish.
Nice to find something that tucks the exhaust up and out of the way, I know I'll be getting some.

YUP, IT WAS REALLY HARD TO BELEIVE W/ SEEING IT WITH
MY OWN EYES, BUT THEY ARE 4.5" HIGHER THAN STANDARD
LENGTH HEADERS OF THE GROUND AND ABOUT 4.5" CLOSER
TO THE MOTOR, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO RUN THE EXHAUST
ALMOST STRAIGHT BACK INSTEAD OF PUTTING THE LARGE
BENDS TO GET THEM BACK UP & OVER THE TRANS STUFF ;)

those look great, so now when you going to get that blazer done?? ;)

those are perdy! :c2:

IT WILL PICK UP SPEED THIS WEEKEND FOR SURE, SHOULD HAVE EVERYTHING
DONE, EXCEPT PAINT, BY TRUCKIN NATS IN PIGEON FORGE TN., THEN I WILL
TEAR IT BACK DOWN THIS FALL TO PAINT IT, GOTA MAKE SURE IT ALL FITS,
AND I CAN'T GO ALL SUMMER W/O DRIVING A CONVERTABLE BLAZER. ;) :lol: ;)

Looks good Craig, Yeah you better have her ready by May 12th.

:metal: sounds like a plan, good luck!!!
jamie

FINISHED, ALL THOUGH I CAN'T START IT :rolleyes:


NEXT FEW PIC'S SHOW THE DIFFERANCE FROM BEHIND ON THE
OLD AND NEW AS FAR AS EXIT HEIGHT, PLUS 2 TIGHT SHOTS ;)

And Now With The Passenger Done, Looking Back Over The Tranny,
And The Cheesie 45 Degree Tips My Buddy Made So I Can Drive It To
His Shop, 15 Minutes Away, Without Blowing All Over My Tranny ;)

*THE EXIT HEIGHT DIFFERANCE ON POST 15 PIC #1 AND POST 16
PIC #2 IS INCREDIBLE, 4.5 INCHES IS ALOT, SHOULD TUCK NICELY :cool:

Man!! That things dirty!!

YEH I KNOW, GETS NASTY SITTIN IN THE GARAGE ALL THE TIME :lol:

Why not? :confused:
Open headers are the best!! :ww:

WELL, I GOT A TRANNY LINE UP AGAINST MY HEADER AND I CAN'T FIND ANY
METAL HOSE CLAMPS TO TIE THE 2 TRANNY LINES TOGETHER, 1 OF THEM'S
ATTACHED WITH A CLIP, THE OTHER ISN'T, THOUGHT I'D PULL THEM OVER
TOGETHER INSIDE THE FRAME RAIL, NOT MUCH ROOM TO WORK WITH IT. :(

I was just kidding BTW

Yeah, me too. :) Nice work/great info.

IT'S :cool:

You could use a small hose clamp to tie them together.

GOING TO GET ONE TODAY, COULD NOT BELEIVE I DIDN'T HAVE ANY :rolleyes:
