Re: DynoDon headers
I thought I saw a post like this somewhere but couldn't remember where.
Now a days I walk into a room and can't remember why I came in there.
To answer your question:
I have no idea why that is because the pipes are all made on the same fixture. (same with the headers)
That being said, there should be no difference. Some times those aftermarket pans cause a problem.

Re: DynoDon headers
I figured as much.. the pan is totally clear , if i align pipe to header it hangs down 7-8" where it would meet ypipe , even with y pipe i am not sure it will seal. I guess i will have to slice it , get angle right and take it somewhere to be completed. nice stuff though , not sure what I will do with my new airtubes , don't see another 3rd gen in the procession, but someone will use them. sad to lose the real craftsmen in the general automotive circle , if it isnt built in China with a big margin we won't get it. Thanks for your contribution

@dgordond
For what it's worth,........ might want to double check the clamshells to be sure they are on the correct side just to be sure. I don't have part numbers handy,.. but you can see the difference by-eye.

The Y-pipe for Dyno Don's own brand of headers doesn't fit other brands. But he builds Y-pipes for Edelbrock headers:

Re: DynoDon headers
Here is one that fits a pan similar to yours,
it seems to fit just fine,
yours looks like one custom made.
It appears to have extra welds in the whole y-pipe.
I would be glad to put it in my jig to check fit ( I checked the angle on mine it's, not 45*)
if you wanted to send it to me.

Re: DynoDon headers
Nothing lasts forever so with that being said.......
To anyone interested...
My plan is to make 10 more sets of headers
but the header shop wants me to pay for the material
in advance. The only way I can do that is "IF" I get
at least 8 orders for them.
So if you have been on the fence about getting a set, now is the time
to act and get your orders in.
PS: If not, that will be the end, I will hang it up and they will no longer be available.
