These are the full length hooker headers that I purchased for my car. They fit with no problem at all.

I also run a set of Thrush glasspacks and it's damn loud in the card. Previous owner installed those long before I got there.

Is it "street legal"? I plan to use it as an everyday drive car for my return to college. Have you ever tried one of these crazy state inspections?

Don't know exactly what year on other brands, but for California cars, GM had air (smog) pumps and injector tubes in the exh. manifolds as early as 1966.

My car is over 35 years old in NC so therefore no more inspections. Emission tests are only 12 years and younger here also if I remember correctly.

I have a feeling you'll be o.k. with your emissions and the headers with your vehicle's age. Check with your local DMV if you want to be 100% sure on what has to pass inspection for your vehicle's age but I'm pretty sure you'll be fine.

I decided to keep the manifolds and buy it the cheapest pipes I could find. I have so much more other stuff to worry about.

Also, I don't want the car to sound so loud and annoying. I know there are ways but I am just too busy right now. I think I will eventually go all out but first I have to get the rest up to standard.

Thank you all for your help.
