Our work in progress is a 318, running 3" from Hedman Hedders to the rear bumper, and chrome tips-the whole system is welded together. It came that way, I have good clearance all the way, just crawled around putting on some coil overs yesterday. Whoever had it done sliced out the H crossover.
It looks to be done in pieces, welded up to the empty mufflers, then pieced in again over the rear end, to the chrome tips, and sadly they are welded on too.
The headers were worn off on the bottoms so I just upgraded them to the same, except powder coated.
IF, and I am saying I'd like to have it down sized, so IF you decide to do this (it was done to our car by a previous owner, when it was raced to death.) Keep in mind you could be making some muffler shop happy, and maybe not you happy. They really dont sound that great, no crossover really makes it sound rough, the empty cans don't give it anything but a lot of noise-vs-throaty and smooth. Idles rough, and the droning is fairly grating at about 2000 to 2200 rpm's. That means I have to drive under or over the speed limit most of the time.
I'll be posting the particulars in the Garage soon.
If I really had the cash at the time I'd of changed down and not had to change out several things to get them hooked back up-it was the best way to go in my case. Bigger is not really better for a one time "race car" turning daily driver.
Hopefully that helps, I'd post video but I don't know if there is video posting here....can't find it if there is.
Questions? Photos? I'm here to help..........
