Hooker super comp will require that you have excellent, if not new, motor mounts to make the proper clearance. You may also have to shave off part of your passenger side K-member to clear them. In addition, you will probably have to move your brake lines around on the passenger side a little to keep them from touching the collectors.

You need to raise the car at least 18 inches into the air, and you probably will need to pull the oil filter and the spark plugs in order to sneak it past everything. Hooker supercomps go in from the bottom.

You will need to make your own Y-pipe, most likely, like I just finished doing.

how close was the collector to the slave cyl? i think i'm going to find another way to make the headers work... Sorry but i would rather find another way than cut up the headers.. good job on making it fit... but there has to be another way... i thought the same thing about the slave cyl when i bought them... but i couldnt find a set that were made for a manual... So the Collector its self hit the slave cyl? by how much?

probably because those headers are made for automatic cars.

the funny thing is that they clear a T56.... now that is bull**** that they clear a T56 but not a T5 but then again the slave is a different design.
