hooker 2210's

I jacked the car up and cant get them in at all.
Im trying again tomorrow.

Any detailed suggestions on how to get them in would help wonders.

Its going on my 85 camaro with poly motor mounts just installed, mini starter that isnt on yet either.

i read a writeup a while back on those and it sounded like a pain. i think they had to jack the whole engine up a few inches to get them in. is your car auto?

19iroc88 might have a set of hedman headers brand new in box still if you wanna try those and see if they fit better

I read that right up on thirdgen. Some say you have to jack driver side up and grind passenger kmember as well as use mini starter and install passenger and starter at same time. Others said they had no issues putting them in even with stock starter and not jacking driver side up.

I had the car jacked up no starter and couldnt get the passenger side in..I donno if I have to jack it up even further up or what.

Thaks for the help tho creeper if worse comes to worse ill look into the hedmans though the supercomps are really top notch.

i have never had a starter issue with my 2210s. In fact, ive replaced 3 since putting the headers on and never even took the slip tube off.

when i put mine on the heads were off so i would imagine that would give me much more clearance than a normal install. but ive heard you have to jack the car WAY up so the header can go in just about vertically.

got them on with out jacking up the motor or anything just had to push the translines out of the way and take that one pipe off the headers when installing it.
