header question

Are there any long tube headers for the 5.8L in my 94, that have a provision for the egr tube (all factory emissions crap needs to be hooked up for visual emissions inspection in my county). All the shorty headers seem to, but I can't find any long tubes that do.

Bueller, Bueller....

Anyway this is the connection I was talking about in blue.


I can't seem to find any long tubes with it anywhere.

Go with Bassani. They're considered 'optimum' length. Spend the extra money for a quality built product that you won't end up replacing later. I'm currently awaiting my tax return for a set . From what I've heard, everyone completely LOVES them.

www.truckperformance.com has them

Don't expect to find a set of long tubes with emissions freindly stuff. Most people running them dont worry about emissions.

Get a good set of shorts and a Bassani y-pipe and be done with it.

Either ceramics or stainless are worlds better than chrome in terms of corrosion. Ceramics reduce underhood temps by a bunch, stainless does not.
Chrome looks pretty.

Stainless will look horrible soon after the install just like painted or chrome. Go with ceramic. Look at post number 15. Those are FMS stainless shorties after about a year.

I guess I'll wait for my tax return and go with the Bassani ceramics. As for the y pipe, I was planning on just going to get an OEM repacement w/ cat (magnaflo or catco).

Get the Bassani. It bolts up right where the stock one does. And has a 3" exit. Perfect for running a single 3" exhuast. Not to mention that a new 3" pre-bent pipe for these trucks is like 30 bucks.
