Default HD Exhaust, lots of pictures

Here are some progress shots of my truck. It has a 112 Maggie, GT-7 cam, Crane Gold 1.8's, and 90mm throttle. Stainlessworks made me a custom bent set of 1 7/8" primary headers with flanges that required fitting and welding. I used Edelbrock 1 7/8" merge collectors to tied everything together. I also have Random Tech cats and Magnflow mufflers. It will run 3" dual all the way out. The intake tube is 4" aluminum that I necked down to 3 3/4" to fit the MAF. Enjoy the pics!

I am curious how much power I am throwing away by not using an H or X pipe with my set-up? I am very reluctant to add one due to how easy the system can be removed and installed in two separate halves. I am totally open to any opinions or ideas, please share

Wow! Great job.
You have gone your own way with your setup. The cam and rocker combo, the custom headers , exhaust....way cool. I doubt you'll lose much without the crossover.
Your going to have to join us at the track here soon.

Thanks for the compliments. I'll have to see how it runs before I worry too much about the crossover pipe. I still have a list of loose ends before I am ready for the track, but hopefully I will get there before the weather gets too hot. I am looking forward to seeing what it can do.

Quick, do you have any pictures of f-body headers on trucks? Do they fit pretty well? I guess I will go that route next time around.

I don't have any sound clips yet, I started it about an hour ago for the first time with mufflers. I have a picture though.

Very cool, nice to see something different. Looks like a free flowing system for sure...I really like the collectors.
