SuperSprint vs.TMS style headers

[matthugie]

For the price you’re paying I guess I would expect some fitment issues.

I currently have the eBay SS reps and none of the bolt holes lineup.. Trying to figure out if I should just smash the shorter tube where it will hit the body and sway bar. But I digress maybe I'll just pony up and get some shorty headers..

Anyone want to buy some eBay SS reps, 80 bucks + shipping...

I had to have a machine shop drill out the bolt holes to get mine to fit. You'll also need some sway bar spacers (someone here used to make them, and still might), and to massage the headers a bit to clear the subframe. The massaging done to mine was with a 3lb sledge. You can make it work, just takes some effort...

I "massaged" the subframe and the headers for my Racelands.

I'm not questioning Nando's knowledge, my question is TMS is "short" and SS is "long" but they seem to have same length primaries, so what makes the SS longtube headers?. It's not a big deal if I can't use my downpipes but it would be nice, know what I mean?

neither look like "long tubes" to me. that said, I looked at them and the TMS aren't as short as I believed. they're still a bit on the short side for my taste but they might be worth the compromise to you to use the stock exhaust.
