Default Header pipes

Does anyone have some pictures to share of the pipe connecting longtube header flanges and intermediate pipes, this have to be custom built? 2 1/2" exhaust, 4speed, 350, -69.

Hopr this helps. I can take a different view if needed but this is what I had already. Let me know. BTW this is a 327 but should be the same as a 350.

I've figured something in this direction though I’m afraid it will be to close to or touch the body.

Mine looks similar to the above pics, also. You have to custom the pipes or get an exhaust shop to do it. I shaped some flex pipe into shape for the pattern and had the local Tuffy Muffler make the pipes.

Thanks for the picture, your pipes seems to be closer to the gearbox than mine. I think I will redesign and use 45 degree pipes instead of 30 to avoid contact with the body. The body is at the paint shop so I can’t check.

Yes I was also concerned. My main concern was heat. I decided to have the entire exhaust ceramic coated inside and out. This should knock down the heat concern. Not much esle I can do.

Lord M ... mine are also custom. Various header flanges end at various places near the firewall, so yours will probably need to be similar but different than anyone else's:
