Re: one off long tubes cackle &flames
Here is mine. I modified my framerails and trans crossmember to make a 3 Ypipe fit. excuse the crapy Ypipe was done as a pattern to see if I liked it but have never made it out of stainless... yet. It will be waaay nicer next go around.

Re: one off long tubes cackle &flames
lookin good! i went with header wrap too to get the under hood temps down. i bought a kit from jegs or summit for about $80.oo. it was 2 inch X 50 foot, 2 rolls & silicone spray. it was enough to wrap both headers & up to the mufflers. big difference.
