Sorry if this has been posted before, but I did search...

Anyway, I want to finish up my exhaust with some long tube headers. Problem is, I have no idea which brands will clear an automatic transmission. Is this even something I have to worry about? Thanks!

From what I've read before, SLP. Mac and Kooks will fit. BBK won't unless you modify the passenger side flange. Flowtech and Hooker are the same and they'll fit. This is based on reading several threads on another forum.

Thanks propellerhead! So basically, I'm good as long as I don't get BBK. Fine with me; I don't like their midpipe...

Bad92GT, why do you say "not for long"?

Giving up (auto) consistency for fun to drive (stick) If you ever drag.
