Default Full length headers

Does anyone know of a set of full length headers that will fit the V8 4x4

Nothing that I know of. You can get a universal kit and weld up the pieces and make it fit. And just so you know only shorty's will fit into factory pipes with no modifying. And long tubs don't do nothing for performance over the shorty's. Only on highly modified engines (Race engines) it helps.

Yeah, just get yourself some shorties and save yourself the headache of trying to fit full-sized in there.

If you don't have a gasket use one. OR Get the bolts made to keep headers on with c-clips to lock them down so they don't move. Check www.summitracing.com for them.

hmmm so the long tubes don't add any extra torque over the shorties?

You won't notice anything unless you have a high performance motor.
