Those are not going to work, buy once cry once tti headers, they fit
Yea I remembered wrong so I corrected it.
I have a set of those if the op wants to come over to Yakima and test fit them
& they're often an ugly installation. & why does anyone want to butcher their inners & weaken the structure of the car??? Any option would be better!
Cutting that area for fenderwell headers is not going to weaken the structure of the car. Even though there's a hole, the panels are still welded together, inner fender, firewall, frame. It's still sturdy. I have no inner fenders and guarantee my car is stronger than the factory ever hoped for with my roll cage
Check out post 2. There's bars
Have you actually seen a front end bend because of that?
Then there's the guys who say "people have done it sixty years....." I say they've done it wrong. If someone doesn't believe the front structure of these cars is weakened when the inner fenders are cut for headers, then they really should look at one with no engine it the engine bay. SOME applications even require you to get into the CORNER between the firewall and inner fenders. That corner is a NINETY degree and is certainly part of the structural integrity of the front of the car. Just because you've not seen the car bend or buckle, doesn't mean you've not made it weaker. It's not something I would ever consider doing. No way no how.
Well, if you run some J bars, then you've added strength back. But most I've ever seen had nothing and that's where I agree with you that it weakens the car.
I get the impression he was not talking about the addition of a cage or bars, in which case he's right. It makes the car weaker.
I usual take a look at stuff before I just go throwing out comments about opinion of how things "look" .
Yeah well......it was designed to have people holes in it. lol
Right, it's a Chrysler with no frame under that part of the car, just spot welded sheet metal, just like the engine compartment but that has a frame that the inner is welded to
People holes lol
Totally agree. But get into that corner with the hole without reinforcing anything and you HAVE weakened the structure. I think that was his argument. If it was, he's right. But most people with any sense wouldn't do that mod without reinforcement. I know I wouldn't and all I got is half sense.
I think he was bitching about the looks and threw in the weakness for good measure lol
Although often refered to as unitized, Semi-Monocoque is the more correct term, as all panels add strength to the overall structure. And a panel like a inner fender is made stiffer by making bends & shapes in flat sheet, which makes it a structural part. And the fenders become a structural part when they're bolted on, too. Hence, the upper fender structures that is always are rust damaged. K-members are also structural.
I know you want to be correct sooo bad, but even though there's a hole it's all welded together around it.
