    How much different are the fox headers over the maverick headers? i have 3 sets of long tubes for a fox and was wondering how much would have to be changed to make work? anyone have an idea or side by side comparison?If i could modify a couple of tubes to get away that way verses buying a new set of hookers that still need to be modded slightly...just wondering. hopefully someone has some positive insight.

    thanks

    I've never seen anyone try the long tubes, but Many have tried the shorties and they do not fit at all.....If you use the Search [​IMG] function you'll find lots of info .

    Not enough room between the engine and shock towers.

    They should fit without the towers protruding in the bay,and if the steering linkage wasn't in the way

    What build??? They filmed like 3 seasons here in my city. And one of our old members was the guy who made the headers on a lot of the projects.
