I have them and the fit is well and they seem to seal up great.Have not had them long enough to tell you how the coating holds up but never seen a set at car shows or cruise nights that look bad

Do the ball and socket collectors reduce from 3" to 2 1/2"? I want to run 3" all the way out....

Why do you want 3"? What is your engine setup?

3" all the way back is overkill for that motor and spec.
You'd see better performance with 2 1/2" exhaust

I wouldn't run 3" on there, 2.5 should be fine.

I agree. I dont see a need for 3" unless its a modified BBC. Or you are running single exhaust.

I have an 87 SWB that is TBI. I have a 383 stroker I'm ploping in and taking out the computer. I have a couple questions on the swap.
I would like to know how these fit? I have the summit headers and they didnt work, they block plugs #3&4 and also hit the starter. I guess that's the price I pay for going with the cheaper headers. ???
