another shot.
If you look at the proximity of the headers to the deck lid struts, this is part of the space that a roll cage leg would be occupying.
The Gp4 headers are different and they curved them away from that space so that leg fits in there.
I think with a roll cage you will need different headers than these. Chances are you will need to leave the car with the header maker though so he can make them to clear the braces.
It has gotten to the point where I have to stop adding pieces and moving others out of the way to accommodate them. As a result, doesn't seem this car will ever have those rear braces?
Anyway, I think these headers fit pretty well. I can't complain. Never bought them as a show stopper but I've noticed a lot of people just have nothing to say when I open the decklid. Funny. Most of them are pretty opinionated too? Can't be that they're ugly?
Still don't know why they are illegal in California? Maybe it's just the Corvette guys made an issue with them? It isn't that they whine, it's more that they have a scream to them. (The headers that is but come to think about it, the Corvette guys do too?) Almost like an Indy car does. Maybe that's it?
The kid on the block with the Harley with no mufflers said to me, "do you know how loud those exhausts are?" I sure do, but how can he hear them?
