Doug Thorley LT Install Problems

[smso966]

I need help and pics from anyone who has a set of Doug Thorley Long Tube Headers installed.

I had a problem installing the dip stick tube after the header install. Needless to say it is bend to hell now and I needed a new one.

I bought a new dipstick today and broke it too. If someone can please send me a pic of their dipstick route and let me know how much they had to bend it.

If anyone can post pics of their install of this specific shot it would be helpful. Any input is also greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hulkss, its not the space from the head that kills me, I already knew I would need the spacer.

The bend of the dipstick puts it wanting to pass right where the second header tube is on the passenger's side.

Well, let me know what happens as I have a set of DT long tubes on order right now. :uhm:

I don't have a picture handy, however I can tell you it runs on the outside of the forward runner down into the hole in the engine mount and into the pan. You need to pull the header off to get it on.
