New Project - 1989 Players Series Z28 - 1LE R7U

The worst part about these cars is finding room for the headers and exhaust. Most long tube designs leave very little ground clearance and you pretty much have to run a single exhaust system with a transverse muffler (if you run it out back over the axle). I'm curious how the race setup looks under there, but even at a reasonable ride height the side-exit is usually way too low for the street.

This car has the 305 in it with hedman shory headers on it. While they are not my first choice (not really my choice at all) they are probably helping a bit with the TQ and they fit "ok". The exhaust isn't really low (neither is the car) with the flowmasters being the lowest point. I'm going to tweak it in a couple of weeks - it still has cats on it (which I don't need here) and I'd like to tuck it up a bit higher. I'll try to find some shots of the factory GM race exhaust and post them - it's pretty cool - complete with the Chevelle tips...
