Does anyone here run these and do they use the first or second bolt hole? Found a set cheap and if they use the inside hole I'm gonna get them to fix my exhaust leak

I have them on my formula. Unfortunately for you they use the front most hole. They are pretty good for what they are. I put them on my car 16&1/2 years ago and they havent rusted thru.... yet. I thought they did about a year ago but it just turned out to be a loose bolt where the header meets up with the y pipe, so 5 minutes and 4 bloody knuckles later my exhaust leak was fixed. I'm still dreamin about long tubes tho. Good luck with your exhaust leak. If you want pics let me know. I can get a clean shot at the drivers side, passengers side, not so much.

The pics I've seen have a slot from the header tube outward is it not possible to use the inner bolt hole or maybe I can just cut the excess out. I really don't want to pull the heads

I do not have any experience, but I just wanted to say, Unless the deal is THAT great, Id hold out for long tubes bud...

Well they are $100 and with the temp dropping and how bad my exhaust leak is I'm afraid I will end up bending a valve if I don't fix it before winter. So that's why I was thinking get them and no worries about y pipe or anything just get me leak fixed for now

Ok....is 100 a good deal.

I had shorties on my 93 parts car that I used to build mine... I sold the shorties for 25.00

Beats $1500 to have the heads pulled. Anyone have Shorties for cheaper let me know and I will buy them

Btw sorry if that sounds snappy I'm not being snappy just writing quick as I'm at work still

Those don't look like shorties but still a good deal at $75. A little vht or wrap and those would be good to go

I thought 75 for those either mid length or long tubes.... (def not shorties) was awesome...

Around here I can't find them like that. Although just found out I'm working this weekend as well so guess I will just buy some new midtubes

Hmm not sure I want to wait that long. Maybe get a set to hold me over then buy those. That's what I was looking at only other choice would be the lpps but don't see me dropping that right now.
