Speed Engineering Long Tubes and Parking Brakes

[NC_John]

Backstory - 6.0-ish LS, T-56. Dirty dingo sliders, engine mounted close to the firewall (set back). Using the speed engineering 1-7/8" long tubes.

Here's the issue - Went to the exhaust shop on friday and the headers wouldn't get along with the parking brake cables/rods. The passenger side rod especially was dead center where the header ended. We disconnected the parking brake and ran the exhaust so now I have to sort out a plan "c" (plan "b" is using 2 pieces of 2x4 as wheel chocks which is a little too ghetto for my liking).

Has anybody else come across this or am I just lucky as usual? How do the wilwood rear discs with parking brakes operate? Do they use the factory cables as well?

Thanks for any help.
