Headers in California

[franco802]

California dudes, what headers are you running on your K5s/trucks that are legal? I was thinking of buying some long tube Hookers, but I think they are illegal. I know LT's are illegal on newer vehicles, but what about on my old '86 K5 with a 350? Same thing?

Why not some Thorley Tri-Y's.... 50 state legal from what I remember..

I would think as long as you had the A.I.R and O2 provision you'd be ok.. Which could be done with long tubes, tho I suppose you could fail a visual...

You should be able to run any set of headers as long as they come with A.I.R. ports.

Edelbrock TES headers are 50 state legal, thats what I have and love em

I have some edelbrock ones from summit and they are ok. I hate how dificult it made it to change the spark plugs. Other than that they sound great and work well with the single chamber flowmaster.

When I had my 81 and 86 K5 I ran hooker headers. Were long tubes with AIR injector ports and included the 2 into 1 Y pipe to connect to cat.

Who has these?? How much$$$$ we talkin?? I wanted to buy some through Summit.

I got mine through Summit. Got them in 2000. Not cheap. They were expensive but also included pipe to cat. They arent listed online or in catalog. You'll have to call.

I also run the Edelbrock. Definitely make it difficult to change spark plugs and also make my new fancy centerbolt valve cover wire looms un useable. I like them though. They look good and fit well. Also came with everything for the install. I would buy some better gaskets though, as the stock ones suck.

When I had my 350 I ran DT Tri-Y's and they looked and performed well. Truck was smog legal until I put my BB in it.

I think about $300 maybe $250-$350 though it was multiple years ago. Just call summit and find out.
