Do you have a T56 Magnum, or a regular T56? I'm interested in looking at the Hooker system as well, but haven't been able to confirm if I can get the proper clearance and angle with their setup. If I remember right, the headers would also need to be modified to make room at the steering box? Not a deal breaker, but want to make sure I look at all my options.

thanks

I have a Magnum behind my Texas Speed LS3. I also used Hooker 1 7/8" headers. They don't have to be modified to clear my Lee 600 steering box, but the box has to be out to get the drivers header installed (at least I couldn't figure out how to wiggle it in there with the box on the sub). A header tube will have to be dimpled on each side to clear the Tru Turn tie rod ends if you go that route, nothing major though.

Used a Speedtech tunnel and it works great.

Randy if you don't mind what headers are on that car? That is a DSE frame right? Looking for options besides DSE's little pricey.
