Short block hugger headers, 90 out to a 45 into the side pipe. The side pipe inlet is right behind the wheel well, like it was made for it. I don't know if some long tube headers would work.
Right now its on with some crush bent tube. Not a big fan of wrinkled pipe but I have some 2 1/2 stainless pipe that I can replace it with later. Right now its just a matter of getting it on and not leaking.

If it stops raining long enough I will try and snap some pictures.

Here are a couple of pics that I took on the test run.





I must admit that I like ride with the height back up there, I love the lowered look but it is much smoother now
The pipes are different. Did you build that hood or buy it?

Just molded(not very well I might add) an ebay L88 scoop on there. I wanted to go with a stinger but needed 3.5" to clear the air cleaner that I went with.

The pipes are OK but the hood doesn't do it for me.

Things are changing a bit.
I figure that you would remember the "debris" slogan. There were even t-shirts
