Headers for Magnum heads

I got Hooker comp. headers on my car now with power steering and it clears the box but just barely. The pass. side also just clears the torsion bar. I had to do some tweaking to get them to where they didn't rattle on something. I've heard of other guy say they had to actually ding some tubes in to get them to clear. As for the ports, I don't know where that got started unless it's because the center ports on magnum heads have a little thicker divider. The ports are still in the same place, just smaller than LA heads. And no magnums had smog ports.

BTW: if you ain't a cussin man you might be after you install them headers. I'm pulling mine off and tossing them. Tired of working around them and dragging them on speed bumps. Got a new set of Doug's going on in a week or 2.
