Must be a monster engine to need 2 1/8 headers.

just following the engine builders request. may have to go with 2".

No personal experience with the Pro Touring Headers but there are a few guys in nthe Performance section that are using them and they all report that they fit and work perfectly (great plug access, ground clearance, steering shaft clearance, oil fliter access and kick out pan clearance). You will need to provide them with your oil pan and cylinder head info. Dan Lemon is fantastic to deal with.

I mocked up a set of the Race headers from them on a 540 and they fit like a glove. They are expensive but are worth every penny I.M.H.O. Afterall they are CUSTOM built headers and Dan Lemons and his guys do a fantastic job and deliver exactly what they advertise.

I have never heard one bad coment from anyone here on this board about Lemons Headers fittment and quality. They are works of art :thumbsup:

thanks for the info. the pro touring are supposed to have a bit more ground clearance. i will check with one of those guys in performance.

My car is a 70 Chevelle. I was having nightmare's trying to fit Hooker and Headman Headers on my car. It turned out my big problem was that i was running Brodix heads with have a raised exhaust port, almost a half inch higher than stock. So i dropped the coin and got lemon's headders and never looked back. They are a small investment, but they fit perfect and i have great ground clearance. For my combo he suggested that i run a stepped headder combo. Plus you get a 1200 Dollar tee shirt!

I don't have any pics right now to post, but i will try to get some for you.

Good luck, give him a call he is great to deal with.
