Default exaust

worked on the exhaust tonite. came up with a set of T bucket headers.
they stuck out to far and interfered with steering, when the tires tried to turn, they hit the front pipe. the pipes also stuck out to far for my liking.
we cut the tubes; 5'' out of the front, 4 1/2'' out the middle and 4'' out of the back.
this matches the angle of the frame and tucks the exaust under the body so it won't burn peoples legs getting in and out.

Really like how you fit the T pipes. Taking some dime a dozen look and making something unique that really looks great.

thanks for all the positive feedback

really, really was not sure if the pipes were gonna turn out ok, or did l kill a good set of headers[ddev

first time doing the exhaust mods this way.

l like the way they turned out and the cool part, l bet no on shows up wth that ''style'' of header at the car shows. probally (l hope), a one off set.

Default headers

the picture shows a header made to fit 32-34 ford frames, it also sat to close to the front tires and also interferred with the steering and hit the coloulm shaft. it ran the shaft right thru the middle of the pipe, not under or over it. l thought of several ways to modify the pipes or coloulm but nothing worked. l then tried other styles, fender well headers, 3 different styles of block hugger headers, 70's camaro, 62- 79 nova, 64-72 chevelle, 57 chevy, 4 sets of roadster headers and even some V8 vega headers l had
laying around the garage since the 80's.
nothing worked till we modified the T headers
