Nope, not the proper procedure. I posted this in the OP's other thread already, and it's been discussed numerous times. The proper modification comes straight from the TTI website, both TTI's and Doug's instructions make it clear that z-bar modification is required for their long tube headers. TTI goes one further than posts the specs needed.

Here's what the modified z-bar looks like. Basically you take the arm for the clutch adjuster, cut it off the Z-bar, slide it down to the very end of the z bar and reverse it so that the clutch adjuster stud faces inside instead of out and weld the arm back on. It's a pretty simple operation if you have a welder. When it's done all the arms are straight and it's hard to tell it apart from stock unless you've got an original and a modified side by side.



Here's the specs on the stock and modified Z-bars. I labeled it Doug's because that's what I have, but it's from the TTI website. The PDF is below, but here's a screenshot of it so you can see the picture without a download.
