Default headers?!?!

hey. i wanna put headers in my car but im a little hesistant to do so because it seems like av ery tight fit, and on top of that, would they fit with the crossflow exhaust? btw i have an 89 RS camaro 305 TBI V8. if anyone has ever done this before or anything like it, could get some advice?

yes it is a tight fit, but they do fit and work with the croosflow exhaust, they have a "y" pipe that merges the two headers into one pipe. the hardest part about it is getting to the rear bolts on the passenger side of the engine (the HVAC box is right on top of them) and putting the spark plugs back in after you put them on. it's not that bad of a job, but make sure you buy good quality headers , gaskets , and locking header bolts. and the benefits outweigh the struggle to put them on. more hp , more tq, better mpg , lower under hood temps, and better sound......

Heres a great set of headers and a y pipe. Its expensive but its worth it. The're ti-tech coated which is a cheaper version of the ceramic but just about as good. This is what im puttin on my car in the summer.
