Finally, my headers are in the car!

It took a while to get them in there, stupid me doing it wrong, but now she roars like thunder :D

For the moment I'm running OPEN headers and thats a tad too loud.
A home-made exhaust system is in the works.

I've bought som 30* and 90* 2.5" mandrel bent tubing, some straight pipe and a friend of mine gave me a pair of Flo-Pro 2.5" mufflers.
Are those any good?

The bends will be fabricated into a x-pipe and my question is, how far back should I place this crossover? As close as possible? After the trans-crossmember or just 'wehere it fits'?

The exhhaust will be welded except for the collectors and the rear opening of the muffs.

thanks!

Yea I think those flo-pro's are pretty good. I had a pair on my Elcamino. Sounded really wicked at WOT. Let me know what you think.
