Hi folks, hope everyone is doing well. Finally had some time to start assembling another project and am dealing with a mismatch in parts.
Have Sierra Madre headers and what I thought was a 1974 exhaust. Basically the headers are too long, or the flanges on the exhaust are too tall (far extended) from the rest of the muffler. Any ideas? Thanks! |

You’ve got 1.7/1.8 liter type headers and a 2.0 liter type muffler. As you’ve discovered, they won’t line up.
Either configuration will work on your car, but you can’t mix the two. Looks like Sierra Nadre doesn’t differentiate between the two styles when ordering. I’d contact them to see what’s up as their web site is misleading by stating that the headers will fit all 70-76 cars. They will, but only if you have the correct muffler to match. |
