Bashed in headers (pics)

Whoever built the car I bought really smashed in a couple of the header tubes for clearance. The pictures really don't do any justice as seeing them in person These are 2 inch Hooker Super Comps and are bashed in basically half way and range 3 - 5 inches in length I was wondering does that have any affect on the engine performance? I kinda thought it would but not sure. I have done a little smash here and there on other ones but nothing like this .





My buddy Dominic has been helping me out ALOT!! We've cut ,welded and clearanced alot for header clearance, front and mid-plates, PG install, steering shaft and drive shaft work. It's looking good. I'll start a new thread in the build section.

Thanks Guys

from the looks of it ...i would say to much .... can you redo those sections ?

Yeah, we already replaced them and rearranged the routing a little. These two may be a tad longer than before. They fit like a glove now. Real nice

I would say that flow would have been drastically restricted! The Hookers never fit real well out of the box anyway, so replacing the bad tubes would only be an improvement.

Looks like a Feelander design!
