I found a set of long tube headers in the junk yard. Not sure if they will still be their, but I have to go back for other parts none the less.

Question is: two tubes where clearanced. One not bad no help needed. The worst one has been smashed like like 50%.

I know that's bad right. Will cause on cylinder to run rich. But how bad is it when you consider that an lo3 has very restrictive manifolds to start with? Ill one cylinder jun like stock then the rest better then stock. I am not adding fuel yet. What do you guys think? Oh ya the rest of the system is pretty good. 3" y with same mid pipe.

are you sure they're long tubes? i don't usually see long tubes running a y pipe. and yes where as that smash will hinder that cylinder a bit it's not so much that you'll have to worry about running WAY lean or WAY rich. it'll be a minor difference from the other cylinders. the real question is how much you'll be paying for them. you can get a set of hooker comps for 160$ new or like i just bought and get some super comps for 500$ for all out sexiness. also. are you running automatic or manual? it makes a major difference when choosing long tubes. the only long tubes produced to fit with a manual are the super comps.
