Art & Inspiration WILD PIPES...cool and crazy headers picture thread

You know this one was coming

 

I'll play,
Just mocked up but I really dig them

Boat headers are always cool too. Very graceful

 

I've had these in storage for a few years.
Maybe some day they will get on a car, probably not.
SMALL BLOCK CHEVY BY JERE STAHL.
CROSS OVERS FOR SCAVENGING.
Spread port flanges with adapter plates to standard Chevy port.
Connect together at flange under pan.
I've never heard a set of these running (I wonder why) but they supposedly sound like a V-16.

 

What exactly is going on here?
Do I see 8 pipes? 4 trumpets and 4 below with a few Y s

 

It looks like those headers can be capped, allowing the other exhaust pipes to function. Just a guess.

 

Highly modified 1&3/4" headers for wifes 67 Nova.
Started out as S&S brand(no longer in business) for 28-34 hot rods.
Same ones used on my roadster.

To much acid I the 60s

 

Why did guys used to run such long header pipes? This thread seems to have a lot of them. There had to have been some goal they though they were achieving with the long pipes?

Wow... man some of those are down right crazy looking.... did anyone notice in the very first picture the car is missing it's harmonic balencer...

 

Hard to tell on this phone, but is that a Ardon headed gocart ??

 

i've heard a set of cross overs that looked similar, though can't say who the builder was.
this was about 20 to 25 years ago, in Newhall CA... Bill's Muffler had a 60s Camaro on the rack, with crossover headers. When the car was pulled off & taken around the block, man oh man! it was pure music!

 

It's the Scotty's mufflers T:

 

?
Did he get a pipe bender for Christmas?

 

I've seen your T on a few threads and sites now fadt, and I don't exaggerate when I say this may well be the best proportioned T bucket ever built. When do we get to see footage of it running?

 

A lot of those pipes are to get attention and are power reducers..

 

.. on a '56 Chev convertible.

 

here's a set that are not too wild or crazy, but they're different I guess.
