Installing a New Exhaust System Including Headers

[Normmus]

I am installing a new dual exhaust system on my stock '77 K10 to replace the swiss cheese straight pipe. I am also installing long tube headers. I have the passenger side header bolted in and the collector flange is touching the driveshaft. Any tips on bending it to clear? I am reluctant to heat it much because the header is ceramic coated.

Going the wrong way. Single with a Magnaflow torque master will deliver more low end for off roading than a sheet hotrod set up. I had what you are building. I ripped it all off and have low end power up the wah zoo.

I agree 100% with Fred. And, I'll add the Hooker Cast manifolds are even better. But, I doubt the OP is going to change course at this point if he's spent big bucks on Ceramic Coated Long Tubers.

Yeah that ship has sailed already, just need to move the collector over about an inch.
