Skip- To tuck things up and to gain space we used a remote oil filter and also the Global West tublar control arms gave John a bit more room. After I get the new headers & exhaust system ceramic coated I'll take pictures of the new headers next to the old set.

Here is a side view picture. You can see the bottom of the Canton oil pan sump to the left, and it's a custom built with a 1-1/8" deeper sump than their regular Road Race pan, and the 200-4R transmission pan on the right is a deeper Hughes cast aluminum with extra capacity. The new headers and collectors are higher than both and you can see the frame rail in relation also.

Anyone got experience with Mad dog headers in a 2nd gen. w/ roundports (2" primaries) and 3.5 " collectors????

I have a friend with Hedman Hustlers #35133..(Round Port) They fit really well on his 78 Trans am. So well in fact that I ordered a set yesterday.. These are 1-3/4" x 3"

I have pics from a guy on the board with Doug's on his 76 Trans am and are pretty closed to ground..

I just replaced my 4201 Hookers with Dawson Headers.we will see if I gain any ground clearance.

Anyone ever cut the flange off the headers and use a slip fit and band clamp ?
The flanges and mufflers are my major drag problems.... It looks like I could just use my hack saw and just cut them off and buy some slip fit collector extensions to make up the front of the exhaust. Opinions before I get happy with the saw ?

Thanks
