Had I not been quick to cut the ends of the stainless 3" reducers that came with my headers (when I thought that was the way I was going to go)...I'd have had all the right angles and end pieces to finish up and put it together quickly. Now I don't have the enlarged ends to connect to the pieces coming thru the trailing arm crossmember...so I either weld them direct or get someone to open up the ends of two pipes for me so they slip fit together.

does any of that make sense?


gonna get back on the fuel system too...and install the radiator support and start on electrical.
Haha ya that makes sense about the exhaust mine is very similar except it is a single 3" going down the passenger side though the trailing arm crossmember, with manderal bends and such. It was a pain to build the exhaust that's for sure. It then splits and goes into duals that go out on either side of the gas tank that are hidden with turn downs right before the bumper. If I ever need to replace it again I'll definitely buy a universal kit! That looks way easier!
