thoughts on headers

[m2g4b]

hey there.....wondering if i get some thoughts on these headers......right now (as you can see) it has typical roadster headers with some extensions....i dont like it, lol...

i want to do something different (garage style, not bought, yet) looking for some thoughts on these...

i was thinking of cutting the extension off and adding a short turnout, or cut them off before the collector and have 4 seperate pipes, i could bind them together or tack them....or just cut the crazy things off close to the heads and have a muffler shop add something else to them...

any suggestions, pictures, phot shops, etc....thanks in advance

Those headers you have actually look pretty good IMO, but if you want something different, how about lakes headers, either capped and run through mufflers or uncapped with just baffles?

Here are the ones on my 27.

Extend them to behind the door, then turn out to the outside.

Or do them like the ones on Don's car.

I agree. I think they look pretty good, they just need a turn out. That header is a pretty effecient design, so if it were mine I'd leave it.

yep

l agree just put some curved ends on it, the pipes on it look fine.

I would probably cut them just at the front edge of the door, and put turn outs on them!! O Rielly AP sells turnouts pretty cheap around here!!

I added tapered megaphones after the mufflers.

I like the big tube sprint car headers.

How much room do you have between the tires and the body?

Any chance of sneaking a pipe through there and run the pipes to the back of the car? (maybe do an inward zig-zag at front of the turtle deck)

This is a friend's car with the same pipes + turnouts...

And crudely photohacked short....

I'm not sure what to suggest but those do have that T bucket look and you need something different on that sweet roadster. I like Dons style but I'd buy the kit and weld them up so they were closer to the ground. or more slanted down I guess.
