I'm running Mac 1 5/8th long tubes for a fox. No problem with them, besides them being a bitch to put on, but thats the case with any long tube. But they don't rub anywhere. I know Joe (Vib) is running 1 3/4" long tubes but I dunno if they are for a fox for not.

I'm not now, but I was running Hooker Super Comp LTs for a fox on my 94 GT. Not too bad of an install, except for the forwardmost bolt on the driver's side (PITA b/c of the A/C)

seriously? i thought you had egr? what size collector?

hey loudpedal--what collector size were the hookers? did they have the ball/socket flange or the old school 3 bolt triangle flange.

i really want to put lt's on and i was under the thought foxes would not fit.

i used cheap asds headman headers for a fox on my firts 94. i had to make my own x pipe though, they are ghetto

I have BBK 1 5/8 headers on my car and they fit fine but like another post said they are a pain in the ass to install with the motor in the car. I did have a little of a rubbing issue with the clutch fork cover and the driver side header. But a quick pass over the cover with a grinder gave me the clearance I needed to keep them from rattling.

I had some fox BBK's I COULD NOT get them to work. The clutch fork was to much of a issue..

I got some BBK's for 94-95 and they went in smooth as silk.

They had the triangle flange, and the collector size is 3". I was pretty happy with them; I had heard of people having issues with ground clearance, as well as problems with the steering shaft, but these fit perfect and weren't too low at all.

just curious loud pedal why did you switch to shorties if you had hooker longtubes?

 

[loudpedal99]

Well, the LT's I had were used and beat up; I aquired them in a trade, and I found a good deal on the setup I have now ($500 with zero miles on all of it). I do miss the LTs though (gotta love the sound!), and I'll probably switch back later.

i have mac long tubes, 1 5/8 size. if your buying a set brand new just go with the right ones for the car, not worth the trouble some guys have with putting fox long tubes in an sn95.
