4" mufflex and Y pipe discussion
So.. I went from a set of headpipes made my denny at mufflex (and welded locally), that had no ground clearance to a Y pip and head pipes made together..
Either I am doing something wrong or this just won't work.
Any ideas on pipe fitment here?
I noticed, this (http://www.geocities.com/cfrios/Phil87IROC.html ) but it don't help too much..
Do these look very different to you?

did I incorrectly attach some of the pipes? There was no friking instructions to say which went where.

Here's a picture of mine. I haven't test fitted it yet. This pic is absolutely huge so be patient.

were those dents there when you got them. I imagine so. Do they line up right under the crossmember? I know that the first link you gave was to a guy named phil's web page. He said that he ground away notches in his crossmember so the pipe could be mounted higher up so he would have more ground clearance. I have talked to him via email and he seems to love his.

well the pic helped trax
thanks.. but.. i still did not get it attached complete.
For 1, i had the Y upside down.. the Y ends up being far from level (which I had not expected). But, it does seem extremly tight right at the ridge on the front side of the cross member.
It involves moving all 6pieces (the collectors hookups on mine are a separate piece) in three differnt axis to get things lined up.
And I could not quite complete it working on the ground. I hope to knock it out thurs. (I was replacing my rockers with comp promags at the same time). The rockers are done, now just to fin the ext.
Might make the dyno jet on saturday yet.
thanks again
