Long tube headers fit ok up around the engine, but they hang down low underneath, and you have to run the exhaust under the tranny to the passenger side and bring it up along the frame, or run it under the frame on both sides and then bring it up along the rocker panel and out in front of the rear tires. It's a little bit messy looking.

I don't remember the name of the company but it's a custom grind that I'm sure ( if it's good ) we'll all want to keep in our contact list.

Well,if it was 94' and up then the computer won't take well to the after market parts.But since it's only a 86' you shouldn't have much trouble with the computer.Those were still OBD 1,I believe it went to OBD 2 in 94 or so.That's when it started getting harder to add after market parts and keeping those check engine lights off.If you do have to replace gaskets though,get as close to factory gaskets as you can.EFI engines don't take to well to after after market gasket to well,they tend to eat them right up.Carbed engine work well with after market gaskets though.

Just a little bit of advice.

Stick with shorties IF you already have a good Y pipe.

Look at Bassani's for performance. They are not cheap though, but you get what you pay for.
