very very small possibility, but they will hit the shifter linkage on either 302 or 351, also on the 351 my passenger side tubes are almost hitting the control arm.

:bump: Yay bumpage. You can blame mrltd for linking to this thread from a newer one.

No one makes long tubes that fit panther bodies. However, Colin (Mr. Land Yacht) has a buddy that took a set made for a Mustang and made them fit a '90-'91 Crown Vic. They'd need to be done a bit differently to fit the '79-'89 bodies (yes, they are slightly different), but if you're dead set on long tubes, you might talk to the guy and see if you can't work something out.

Colin's still didn't fit. Can't remember why, but I think he said it was still hitting the steering even after being tweaked on once or twice. I'm guessing the car his friend used for fitment had a few things in slightly different places for some reason.

Even with tails, I smell exhaust when the POS isn't rolling. People can tell if I arrived by Panther, just by the aroma I bring into a room after driving it, LOL. Putting new cats on the car might help this. Also driving WOT everywhere couldn't hurt, either.

The closed breather system I just installed on it helps a lot.

Why is that? For the money, no one else is close to what BBK produces regarding quality/fitment.

This is probably true; I'm really impressed with those big thick flanges.

My long-tube fitment experiment on a 302 car ran into big issues between the starter and p/s framerail, which is why I was so surprised when Colin claimed his p/s header didn't need any modification (same p/n headers IIRC). That said, it's possible a mini starter would help with the issue I experienced. I have no idea whether anything else would have cleared because the d/s header never went near the car.

I think the guy tried to tweak them for him, but he still didn't have a pre-'90 car to work with, so he would have just been guessing about what had to be changed, rather than having the car right there to really get it right.
