Need Header Head Pipe Help

[RustyRatRod]

Someone with the following combo....Early A body, 225 slant 6 with Clifford shorty headers and manual transmission. I need GOOD pictures of what you did for head pipes if you have single exhaust. Thank you drive through.

Put a LS in it.

Then you can buy it all from Amazon

No, I don't need the ebay turbo.

Why use the ignore feature if you're going to read and reply to what he writes???

Cause sometimes it just kills me not to look. You know you're guilty. Now hush up. lol

If you get desperate, I have this exact setup in my truck and can get photos when I drop the engine back in. LMK.

I think in a truck and an early A, the head pipes would be vastly different.

When is that going to happen...

I know for fact, I used this 2.25" Y Pipe from Clifford. $40.00

I have a Flowmaster Y 2.5- 3" but I am not opposed to getting a different one. I am retaining my single TTI 2.5" system, as I think it is plenty big enough.

damn, I dont think I have any pictures of the mess I had ( would have never worked with a Z bar ). I used a flowmaster scavenger Y that I chopped a bunch off of.

Great pics! Would you happen to have one looking back from in front of the Z bar?

Good GAWD what size pipe is that?

 

[RustyRatRod]

1st pic: Pretty self explanatory. 2 pipes bend down in front of the z-bar.
2nd pic: Head pipes come under the car parallel, into the y-pipe.
3rd pic: Single pipe into 40 series Flowmaster, dumped at the axle.
I had a flange welded onto the y-pipe so the system un-bolts
if I need to get to the trans.

Nice! I like the addition of a flange behind the Y pipe.

How far below the transmission cross member would you guess the whole exhaust system is? 3"?

3”

 

[RustyRatRod]

3”

...and you got a Z bar in there somewhere?

 

[RustyRatRod]

Whoa Whoa Whoa !!!!!! Slow Down !!!!!!!!
I'm just getting over getting my *** off the ground for those pics. Lol Need time to recover.

HA! You're soundin like me now. lol

It is fabricated just right. I will get pictures when I get home this weekend.

3" sounds about right.

There is enough room to snake two 2 1/8" pipes between the z-bar and the center link/tie rods. Run them down to just in front of the transmission cross member and add a Y connector. Connect that to your 2 1/2" exhaust pipe. Just remember the longer those intermediator pipe are, the more low end tongue you get. When I built mine, I used J tubes from Summit.
