    Ohhhh haha yeah I’ve got the front ones installed because they were easy and straight forward fitting. I’m just looking for a layout for the rest of them. Thanks

    It should be easy. Just watch where the cutouts and thin spots are, they usually are clearanced out for a double layer of metal on the underside of the subrail, or some other obstruction (rivets?).

    Just getting this shit to fit... I’ve never done exhaust or anything with tubing. I’m waiting on some more bends to come in the mail to finish it up. IMG_2310.JPG

    the tightest 90*s I have ever seen are the ends of a commercial building's stairway handrails...
    much thicker gauge and are stamped, needs the seam welded [easy its thick]...
    because they are thick, you could cut them down to a 45* or whatever and weld them... HIH.

    Just curious. Have you added a heat shield to those headers or is it just the angle the pic is taken from. Watched your video as I'm about to tackle the same job. Nice work!

    I don’t know what heat shields are hahha soo I’m guessing I didn’t use any.

    It’s not hard... just takes time... three times measuring 1 time cut.

    Please explain heat shields. Thanks.

    Header complete. Now it’s on to wiring and 12volt conversation.
