Upside down performance headers
possible I'm looking just to cut off the ends and have them shoot straight through the hood what are the pros n cons? I have a pontiac 400 6.6L and the right way hits the oil pan cause the top of the header is slanted to much how could I bend that out? but I rather have 8 pipes sticking out the hood cause id cut off were the slant and combine
These are long tube head man headers and my only option is to put them upside down and have it going out the fender or hood or find a way to bend them and I don't care if its illeagal thank you there is plenty of people in my neighborhood who have ratrods with open headers

You can't be serious? Do you know how loud and illegal that would be? Plus it would look absolutly horrible on a TA. My $.02

seconded, include the beating the cops will give you to for running something that loud
seriously it would be so loud, and youd lose alot of low end, and not to mention its wayyyyyyyyyyyy illegal, no matter where you live.

I think Jesse James did this on monster garage when it use to be on. That was a good show.

Re: Upside down performace headers
In effect you would have zoomie headers. I think you would lose a ton of torque doing it that way. Not to mention the obvious noise issues.
