by the way thanks Gadgetized for the quick response on the pictures i got alot of new ideas running through my head now.
If you want a removable exhaust, yep. I'd recommend them at the headers at least for easy removal. You can run band clamps at the mufflers that you can get from Napa or whatever you would like to run.

This is the y-pipe I made for my Kooks f-body headers but I had one very similar when I had Pacesetters.




The original one I made for the Pacesetters and when I had a 4L60 had quite a few less bends, then I had to modify it to clear the tailshaft on the 80. I believe you could probably get by with 3-45* bends. One would be used to cut up for smaller transitions.

gadgetized,

Thanks, I got the straight tubing from Summit. I got the elbows, tailpipes, and V-bands from ebay. I got stainless rod for the hangers from a local machine shop.
