BBK longtube and clutch queation

[lopey4.6]

Hi,
MY stock clutch is slipping and I need to replace. Will I get away with this without loosening the BBK longtube headers I have? Has anyone done this with these headers?

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADER WILL HAVE TO COME OFF. NO WAY AROUND IT. JUST CHANGED MINE NOT LONG AGO.

WE DROPPED THE K-MEMBER AND ALL.

THE HEADER WILL NOT HAVE TO COME ALL THE WAY OFF, BUT IT WILL HAVE TO BE UNBOLTED.

Does the same thing apply to 96 Cobras? I really want LT's, but I dont want to have to remove them to change the clutch.

I KNOW IF YOU GET THE BBK LONG TUBES IT WILL. JUST PUT A AFTERMARKET CLUTCH LIKE SPEC OR CENTERFORCE IN BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE LONG TUBES.

Hooker long tubes allow you to change your clutch without messing wityh the headers. the trade off though is that they have slightly less ground clearance (opnly a worry in lowered cars really) and you have to buy the matching hooker midpipe.
