I run the Flowtech Shorties without issues. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BIG-91830FLT/?rtype=10
You have to grind a small portion of the driverside frame rail and plug the 02 sensor bung and install a bung in the exhaust pipe just below the collector (this is assuming your year rig uses an 02 sensor).

If you want to weld a little, and cut the bung off, and weld it closed, you will clear the frame fine.
I put a plug in the bung on mine, and ground it down far enough that it doesn't hit the frame. Nothing is really holding the plug in, and i should address that sooner than later, but all im saying is that w/o the bung, you won't have to grind the frame. Good luck!

That on a TBI motor? Did you just disregard/Plug the AIR tubes?
Yes, TBI. They are hooked up.
Mine said it would fit a stock exhaust system. Wrong. I had to get it modified. Did'nt line up.
Scotts do NOT hookup to the stock y-pipe. I just put the same ones on, had to get a new y pipe made.
Also, how do you hookup AIR injection to a TBI motor? I'm lost on that, i thought that was part of the Vortec emissions system.
In the last pic I posted, the A.I.R. on the header, A rubber hose goes from there to the little pipe on the left side of the pic. That little metal pipe is where the stock pipe went. the hose connects both. Hope you got that.
Darren, some TBI's had an A.I.R. pump system but i've yet to see one in person.
So is mine rare or something, like the black sheep. I thought all TBIs had that. Maybe a Cali thing? If you need any advice, jusk ask me. Ha Ha!!
My rig is a 1989 Ca. emissions TBI and does not have A.I.R.
go figure...... mines an 87 jersey TBI rig, and it had A.I.R....
I've strongly been considering not running the A.I.R lately...... it's going to make my cog belt setup a real pain to do... I was ready to run it, but now we only have a sniffer test here..... pretty sure i could get away without it as long as my numbers are good...
gonna have to decide soon tho, headers are next on the shopping list...

Did you replace or have you recently replace the motor mounts in your rig?
