If you're just looking for fender exit exhaust pipes, flip the stock headers upside down and run the exhaust pipe from the front of the engine back.

Its a pro street pulling truck. I am losing horsepower with regular long tube headers, and I hate the thought of cutting the hood up to make holes for upright headers. I will try to get a pic of the truck posted here in a few. We have dynoed the engine with long tubes, and fenderwell headers both and the difference is enough I want to find a set. The problem is no one is making them, so I need to buy pipe and a bender I guess. I can buy the flanges all day long and the collectors to but not a complete done set.

if you dyno'd the engine with fender well headers on it… why didn't you keep that pair on the truck?

I really fail to believe conventional long tubes make less power than hacked up junk...

Because the bends on the tubes do not fit over the frame and down. It has to have the right bends to clear everything.

And you are entitled to you opinion about hacked up junk. But there is a lot of money and time spent on this truck. I do my research and dyno the engine with different combinations of parts to get the most I can out of my stuff. Just because someone wants to build something who are you to judge? If they are built properly with the correct bends and tube lengths they will not only look good but they will work better too.
