I have the threaded peice supplied by Summit Racing which is where I got the headers and side pipes from.
I'd try to put it right in the collector after the tubes come together.

But uhm... pics??
So, got the headers all bolted on, the bolts for the side pipes are a pain...is there a trick? I’m getting ready to weld them in...
