new exhaust installed...
Well after blowing my passenger "ram horn" out last Sunday, I ordered a set of the Summit long tube headers. Man, what a difference!!! I really didn't think that headers would make such a difference. Any way, I took it to the exhaust shop to have it all hooked together and this is what I came out with. Not as nice as the Hookers of coarse but I'm happy. Gotten lots of local looks and compliments so far and got away for less than a third of the price. I think it has an "old school" look to it. Let me know what you think...

Hey Glen
Sounds good!!! I might put some kind of heat shielding on them though cause with my luck I would burn the you know what out of myself.. They look good too just look different rather than the norm but it is always good to be unique

Thanks everyone. They come out farther back because I wanted the leaste restrictions with the standard long tube headers. Before I had the original cast iron manifolds with the 2.5" pipes from mid america and the monza tips for mufflers. It was nice but this is better. I will try to get pics this afternoon when I get home from work.

BTW, any opinions on keeping it the silver color or should I paint it flat black? Still haven't decided. Also, anyone know of any type of short universal heat shield that I can adapt to my aplication?
