My true dual exhaust system!

Hooker Super Competition long tubes. Custom pipes and bending. Turned out really nice.

Dual exhaust doesn't require dual threads...

Re: My true dual exhaust system!

That came out pretty good. Did you have issues w the driver side header and the mechanical clutch linkage? You kept it all pretty tight to the body. Ground clearance looks pretty reasonable also. Any heat issues on the floor near the mufflers?

Still in project mode. I had to take the clutch linkage apart and go in from the bottom. I also took the steering linkage apart. As well as the master cylinder. Don't know about the heat by the mufflers yet

No dragging what so ever. The damage to the headers was already there before I bought them. The gentleman that I got them from throttle got stuck at the track and he ran off the end of the track. These were $1200 headers from Summit. I'm truly happy with these headers.
