Is anyone running the Hedman full length headers? Right now i've got the shorty style headers and am wanting to put the full length on this winter but am curious if i'll have issues... I'm using the factory 5speed and everything so will there be clerance problems at all??????

I have heard guys from other sites that are running then. The Advanced Adapters frame mounts are needed and the V8 car style clamshells. The headers have interference issues with the upper a-arms if the truck is too low. The oil filter is a working obstacle. The ears of the tranny need to be cut. You will also have problems with the slave on the tranny.

I would hate to change the starter in that one but it looks damn good.
Im running the Hedman long tubes.Hedman says you need the Trans-Dapt mounts and the clam shells,like Mellon said.They're ignorant to put on,but the gain(in my case)over shorties is noticeable.the biggest pita is changing the oil filter.You have to pull a couple tubes off the drivers side unless you relocate it.The really bad news is Hedman says they wont work with a stick.Maybe call them at(562) 921-0404.If you go onto Summit's web site and look them up (part#69490,coated are69496) they have the instructions on there.Look at them and it'll give you an idea what you're in for.
