the problem with the hooker comps...since all 4 tubes are single untill the collector, they dont leave any clearance for the clutch cable(mechanical linkage may be different, im not sure) i ordered my t5 kit from Modern Driveline and they had mentioned the i may have header problems, but i tired the hookers anyways...they were a no-go. so i called up Modern driveline and they suggested a cpl different headers i could go with. they either needed to be shorties or tri-ys. since most shorters are pricey and require differnt motor mounts, and huge modification of exhaust(long tubes to shorties) it was easier to go with tri-ys. the helped alot. but i still had issues...the cable hole on the bellhousing is almost directly inline with the header so i had to make a harness to pull the cable to on side so she wouldnt melt on the header.
i read up on header mods a while back, and there are some people on the forums that got creative with their long tubes, such as cutting out one of the tubes(#7 maybe?) and rewelding it to create a gap for the cable. it was an idea but i didnt want to mess with headers that have already been made a certian way for a reason.
hope all this rambling made since...
