Custom exhaust help

smythge: I've been coming back to this thread every day and looking at the way you're going with those pipes, and I have to agree with Ace on this one. It looks like you may be creating more problems that you're trying to solve. However, if you do the same thing with the same pipes, only run it to the rear like a normal exhaust, it should work. You'd end up with a log type exhaust that's custom built for your engine / chassis combo. It probably wouldn't move the exhaust out as well as a set of headers, but it would be much better than standard exhaust manifolds, and would fit better that either of the others since it's built for your combo. It would also save a bunch of bucks compared to headers. :)
