Removing stock exhaust manifolds

Well, it's all done. Shorty headers installed. Removing the steering column is the easiest way to deal with the troublesome drivers side. Here are some pics. The header by the collector was beat in by previous owner and we kind of put our own touch on it. Not very pretty but it's not a show car.

The down pipes go over the steering arms and right next to the starter. I could have gone under and made it easier but I wanted more ground clearance.

Hope this helps someone some day who might want to put shorty headers on an early A and isn't sure what to do.
