Re: Long Tubes?

theres none out, and odds are there isnt ever going to be. wickedsixx made custom ones i think, pretty sure. you can probally search and find out more.

I thought that clear image automotive was making some. If not, couldn't you just take a set of pacesetters cut them of then weld some extensions in them to make them long tubes? Like just put longer pipes in the primaries, and reuse the collectors?

Re: Long Tubes?

I know this is a stupid question but here it goes... Are there any V8 headers for the fbody with the same port/bolt pattern as the V6 so you could just cut the last tube off and weld it shut?

Re: Long Tubes?

no. /\/\

wickedsixx is the only person i know of to actually have them.(custom done) IIRC Little G is in the process of fabbing some for his camaro also. ive heard the Clear image may do it but i wouldnt hold my breath since there isnt a huge demand for them.

Re: Long Tubes?

the longer pimaries would probably not due very much, its the slighter turns and the right length primaries that will give you a higher exhuast velocity, resulting in a lower peak torgue range.

i heard that there were people trying to make them for our cars but i doubt they will ever get made, the one person at pacesetter interested in the 3800 crowd left there, and cia takes a while to get anything new done,

Re: Long Tubes?

Well that ruined my hope for more options. So it won't do anything to take the headers cut them off in the middle and weld in some longer tubes to make my own long tubes uh?
