Speed Engineering Long Tube headers Knockoff LT1 4th gen Fbody Camaro from Speedracingturbo.com pt2

[@maldo72]

** Update: 4-30-21 **** ... Just been made aware that speedracingturbo.com website is no longer available but, I do still see them on eBay .. I see the price has jumped to $400.00 for headers and y-pipe still not a bad deal for a good set of headers...

I'm stuck I can't get the front bolt in on passenger side. It's almost there just slightly off but something is keeping it from sliding fowards a bit. I removed the 3 13mm bolts holding the mount and now those holes no longer line up. I currently have the 2 middle bolts in place. Before this I had the rear bolt in place but this made the front bolt be way off. I dkn what else to do. And now I can't get the mount to line up so that's going to be another headache. Also I don't have my transmission on the car. So I'm not sure if this is making it harder. I would of thought this would make it easier. Any feedback would be great. Been working on passenger side for 8hrs now. I noticed you said you hit yours with a hammer but I don't seem to have that problem with it hitting the k member. I have a video up on my channel.

@@dnegel9546 so your saying the you cant get the front bolt in on the header? very easy elongate the other bolts holes to either slide the header forward or if all the other bolt holes bolt up but one then elongate just that hole so you can bolt up the header

[@dnegel9546]

@@maldo72 oh hey thanks for the quick reply. I managed to get it on. I saw what you meant by the bottom hitting the k member. But I found a way to get it on without hitting it with a hammer. Don't ask me how.. lol.. I literally been just wiggling the engine back and forth just like yesterday but for some reason it let me put it on today. 🤷 I just finished. About to throw on the y pipe to see how it fits. Then I'm going to go ahead and do the rear main seal. 😒..(ughhh). Then prep everything to bolt up the trans tomorrow. Before I start it up I'm going to have to find some high heat tape or wrap or something to protect those cables you said to re route. Since I didn't do it to mines as well as the ac line. And I just read that I will need a tune in order to drive the car. 🤦 (Fml) oh well I still have not ordered the band clamps or O2 extensions. You have a part number you recommend for both of these items???

[@dnegel9546]

@@maldo72 so the y pipe that came with it is the same size as my catback? (Heartthrob 3in catback.) Not sure what to do.. since it seems most catback are 3in. But I thought the headers/ypipe was a 2.5in outlet. Do you know if there are adapters? Or what can I do?

[@maldo72]

@wobbuffet if I remember correctly the y-pipe is 3in "id" and should slip into the 3 in cat back system ... i had to add an extension to my setup because i did not have the pipe extension ion that came with cat back system and was using a different type of headers before this setup in the very beginning of this video you can see how the y-pipe is setup on my car kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIXGl3qporemY5I

[@cantbuytime]

I've got 3600 miles on these same headers and y-pipe. I just upgraded to lapjoint band clamps for a better seal. They perform great, fit great and hold up on 300 mile trips.

[@maldo72]

thank you for watching and for the feed back .. I was unsure when i bought them but was surprised how well they fit

[@Join_Jamal]

I know you did you end up using the bolts that came with the kit?

[@maldo72]

yes

[@hiramrodriguez4355]

@maldo72 Hi...how did you managed the smug pump if equipped on your car? been looking for a video on your collection Thanks!

[@maldo72]

hi thank you for watching the smog pump was long gone by the time i got the car

[@jtome84-91]

Did you have to remove the oil cooler in order to fit the headers ?

[@michaelgordy6283]

Some good video's of your exhaust. Currently doing mine. Did you leave the headers loose and fit on the y pipe? Or did you tighten the headers then y pipe? Thanks! Really liked the way it sounds on your when you finished it!

[@maldo72]

thank you for watching ... I tighten the headers then fit the y-pipe.. ..

[@javi8431]

Looks good, like to get the that same style headers with smog pump and egr, You know if they have them with that option ?

[@maldo72]

sorry did not see them with that option ..

[@paulsommers7733]

Hi, have you any update on these headers and Y pipe..? I can't find them on ebay..

[@maldo72]

sorry for some reason they are a pain to find at this point due to the demand and raw material shortages from what i am hearing.... i will update as soon as i can ...

[@devincook665]

Where did you get the roller rockers

[@maldo72]

Thanks for watching check my other video where I list all the parts thx kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHOrfGVor5hql5I

[@jtome84-91]

Did you have an oil cooler ? If so did it clear ? Cheers

[@maldo72]

hi and thank you for watching .. i am not sure this engine does not have the oil cooler.. that said i am pretty sure it will clear ..

Thanks for the videos man. I’ve been watching a bunch of them as I start modding my car. I’m installing speed engineering headers on my 93 firebird lt1. I’m wondering if you had any problems with the spark plug wires being overheated and melting?

[@maldo72]

no used good quality wires and i run them under the header

[@outdoorkitchens1191]

On these is there clearance issues at the collector? I'll have 1.25 drop on all 4 corners. Wondering if these cheap ones will do or I should spring for Shorty's ? Will not be running cats. Thanks again!! He fbody fam make sure to give maldo72 a like he took the chance to put this stuff on his baby and show us the work and installation bumps! Much appreciated!

[@maldo72]

thank you for watching clearance is awesome the best ... plus they have slip fit collectors for the yipe ... just as a comparison i run older 1 3/4 hooker super comps with 3 bolt flange on my supercharged trans am and they blow them away with plugs and ground clearance .... only problem from what i found its that they are hard to find.... check out my other video on these headers plus i will have up coming video of these headers when i pull the motor out kzbin.info/www/bejne/amXFgIWml6ppi8k

[@nicklagreca3038]

Do they have oval exhaust ports or d ports?

[@maldo72]

oval exhaust ports its a cheaper way to make it but the ports are bigger so it wont hurt flow ... just use a good set of aluminum soft gaskets never had a problem with them leaking great buy for the money if you can find them.

[@bigchiefpyro36]

What gaskets did u use

[@maldo72]

mr. gasket aluminum they work great

[@Dudemandude007]

I’ve been thinking of getting these headers for my 94 z28. Does it make sparkplug changes easier? The passenger side is a bitch and a half.

[@maldo72]

your still have to take out the starter on the passenger side but besides that Super easy better then the hooker super comps i have on my transam.

[@maldo72]

in the future i will do a video on spark plug clearance on these headers

[@mendesfishing1182]

Did you torque the header bolts or you don’t have to

[@maldo72]

thank you for watching .. it is next to impossible to get a torque wrench in there all i do is evenly tighten the bolts and check them every once in a while to make sure they have not loosen up .....
