I don't want to go through the fenders so i have my work cut out for me..... I already have $700 worth of bends and collectors so there's no going back now, my car also had the motor set pretty low and as far back as possible so i don't think an off the shelf header would work.
good luck, purge the tubes, I used stainless so purging was a must but I also do it on mild steel just for a nicer finished product. I had $1500 into materials in the headers pictured above.
