the bold text is flat out wrong. collectorlocation may be similar but there is big diferences on the rest of the routing.

straighten the flanges out,dont bandaid it. MrGasket ultra seals are usualy a good gasket.

are the flat flares on the pipes straight? are the flanges straight? are the pipes in any kind of bind ? no kind of gasket will handle any of those things over time.

did you first make sure that your engine was in the correct location before beating the living $hit out of them? or atleast contact TTI and see if they could send you a diferent header if it was for some reason not built right?

as for indy,you dont have to look very far,there is a company named brodix that sells B1´s they are more than capable to bet up on indys heads. how did this endup in the smallblock section by the way? :S

only way to make those fit a early A body would be by cutting them up into pieces and look at them as a weld up kit.. you would probably have to buy a few extra bends to finnish it anyway after that.

it takes forewer to write how to install them so i say like everyone else just read the instructions and they will slip right in:cheers: no need ot take the steeringbox out of the car:iconbigg:

nice work! something i need to ask,will you grind of the fresh paint where you are going to weld the new pans on? just a thought here it usualy sucks trying to weld something painted.. i will probably replace my floorpans next winter and this is something i have thought about.

its a 340 but would look the same on a 318. lysholm twinscrew, engine is in the car now but i dont have any pics of that, will probably fit under a sixpack scoop if i just get alitle creative with the aircleaner.hope to find out within a few months

might add that a cherrybomb or thrush usualy makes a leaning tower of power sound sweet :)

well its not a new car by any standard you may want to do alitle measuring under the car just to be sure on lenght inlet/outlet possition and tubesizes. i have worked with exhausts for about 10years and its almost impossible to sell the right muffler based on application on anything from the...

i work at a carparts company that almost only deals with american cars. the possition is head of mandrelbending exhaust tubing, i do everything from simple bending following paterns i have already developed to develop new paterns and doing quite alot of custom jobs like altering headers and...

there may be more variables to that pontiac, i agree to some of that thinking but i can also se how that would work on a chamberd or 3pass muffler but dont think it would work as good on a car with absorbation mufflers. also depending on the whole car those 3" exhaust pipes may be overkill in...

TTI is my choice but i never personaly tried any dougs,but the dougs i have seen live have looked like a quality product. im on my second set of TTI´s now and while installing i had my doubts about how those big 1 7/8" primarys was going to fit with powersteering but now that they are...

a few pics would help i think in seeing where the problem is. it also depends on what brand and what partnumber they are how they fit,most of the less expensive headers have the steering centerlink going thru the driverside header some headers where never designed for cars with...
