I would like to see the exhaust pictures you had up a month or so ago.
Thanks,

Ok, no call back. Does anyone know where the pictures might be on his frame off showing the new pipes he installed? He did a real nice job connecting the headers using 45* offsets from JC Whitney.
Maybe I'm wrong and it wasn't Mr Gearhead that orignall posted?
Thanks,
Gary

Just go to your local exhaust shop, and ask them to bend you an offset. You can get a measurement by extendind either top or bottom of pipe with a straight edge. that measurement between both straigh edges is your total offset, any good pipe bender can do it. I think 45* is too much bend for a short distance?

Thanks Bruce the local shops don't want to touch it. Some I talked to seemed to have a tough time even talking :rolleyes: one guy said he didn't know if he could bend 2.5" pipe and wanted me to leave the car for the day...right!
I did get the pictures I was looking for but would like to ask a question or two on it.
Thanks,
Gary
