Anyone running long tube headers with under floor booster?

[Maximus]

I was just thinking about putting headers on my truck seems how i found a crack in one of my manifolds. Is there anyone running long tubes past their under-floor booster/master cylinder? If so how much clearance do you have? How much wrap/heat shielding did you do?

Any info and/or photos would be great!!

The headers are made for the Tri-5 chevys.. go to Summit type in headers, click on Patriot and look for part number H8025-1 and you can get a 360 degree view...

Thanks, the hooker pro comps im looking at are a little longer, and may be a little lower but I still think i will be okay. I have a firebird subframe/engine and will be ordering headers for the "firebird
the stock y-pipe that the firebird came with JUST clears under the trans crossmember in my truck like it was made for it, so I can only assume the crossmember I have in my truck was almost the identical height as the stock firebird crossmember height. I am lowering the truck 1-2" with springs but I still am confident that the truck sits higher than the firebird did, so I am going to go with the long tubes, and let you all know how it works! lol...

nice work parkwood.

maximus, on our trucks we run the exhaust under the frame and it will still be above the body.
the mc/booster will be in the frame, i don't see any interference problems.
these trucks are a pain to get on a hoist because the frame is so high.
our shop has 3 hoists, none are drive on

Thanks, that truck i installed the Mll front end and 9" ford rear end with new springs, set up motor and trans, and threw in a power brake booster with a Ididit steering column and filled about 70 holes in the fire wall for a friend of mine. He's taken it back and put it all back together with a new motor and 700r4 trans...
