Factory Side exhaust with headers [PICS]
I know there are some guys on here that want to run side exit headers under factory exhaust covers. I thought i would share some pics of my setup.
Hedman Side Exhaust headers...wrappings suck.
This is the whole setup...I cut off the front pipe of the Allens mufflers and welded my own bent setup...Fit is great, but they hang down from below the covers..but it doesn't look bad.
I will be gutting the mufflers and having the whole system JetHot coated.

Nice looking work. Are you planning on coating the headers too? If so I would think you could do away with the heat wrapping. Either way, make sure to post follow up pics.

How much was the setup?

I've actually thought about just welding in a Stainlessworks chambered muffler in the place of the muffler now, but the way the tips and everything are offset, it looks alittle tricky..might figure something out if i don't like the sound of these gutted mufflers.

I got my Hedman sidepipe headers from Summit. I searched there website a week ago looking for them for another person but I couldnt find them, so I would probably give them a call and see if they still carry them.

Okay, thanks. I'll have to pick a pair of those up as I'm going to custom make my own sidepipes out of 3" stainless. How is the fitment? I'm especially curious of the header outlet position.

when we do ours (will be a whilllleee since we are usin the stock sidepipes until we have the money) we are most likely gonna get those hedmans and some 3 inch mandrel bent pieces and weld an elbow to a straight 3 inch stainless pipe and use the spiral turbo baffles which are just inserts you put inside the pipe...
