Need to clarify what you mean by "without modification." Going to need to buy an X pipe or have custom pieces fabbed to connect to the lower exhaust system no matter what type of headers you get.

You don't have to buy one. :)

They will fit, but you need to ask RR_Suki what needs to be modified...he has them on his car.

I already have a whole custom bent exaust with an x pipe now..so having new pipes fab to meet the headers isn't too much of a problem. But I've heard stories about shimming motor mounts and such. And was curious. Also will the egr bolt up or should it be deleted?

Good question, I've been curious about this also cause I have a friend who wants to sell his LTs to me for cheap since he is going with a turbo setup now on his Cobra.

the ones you linked looks like someone took a hammer to em already, maybe you'll have 0 issues getting them on :lol:. But yeah I dunno about bbk etc. they likely run the primary pipes in a different way. I got mine from American Racing Headers. I had to grind a bit on the upper knuckle for the steering shaft, and also put a small ding on the underside of one primary for the lower knuckle and that is all. Also mine are 1 3/4" primaries, so they are a bit bigger than the usual 1 5/8"

I'ld stay away from those, like RR said looks like somebody beat them. The primary tubes look like they're crushed! Save up some $$ and get a nice new set of American Racing Headers. Some modification around the steering shaft will be required but not the extensive beating that those endured. Lol. PM me if you're interested I'll get you best deal possible.

Yeah they did look a lil beat. Another buddy of mine has a set off his cobra which ill prob buy. What has every one do with the egr? Delete it or make it fit the long tubes

Make it fit so there is no issue with emissions, there is no need to delete it being the EGR system is "off" or not used under WOT!

it's not a big deal to get it to fit. Mine is connected even though the valve is off in the tune.

Couldn't remember if I had posted this elsewhere, but this is what the Mach1 headers with 1 3/4" primaries fits like on the driver's side

That's a tight fit. Do you have the A.R.H. mid pipe too or is it all custom?

I hear that a lot :banana:

Nope, I don't have their mid pipe. The rest of the exhaust is 3" custom.
