Someone with the following combo....Early A body, 225 slant 6 with Clifford shorty headers and manual transmission. I need GOOD pictures of what you did for head pipes if you have single exhaust. Thank you drive through.

If you get desperate, I have this exact setup in my truck and can get photos when I drop the engine back in. LMK.

I can snap a couple pics for you Rusty.

damn, I dont think I have any pictures of the mess I had ( would have never worked with a Z bar ). I used a flowmaster scavenger Y that I chopped a bunch off of.
 
1st pic: Pretty self explanatory. 2 pipes bend down in front of the z-bar.
2nd pic: Head pipes come under the car parallel, into the y-pipe.
3rd pic: Single pipe into 40 series Flowmaster, dumped at the axle.
I had a flange welded onto the y-pipe so the system un-bolts
if I need to get to the trans.

Nice! I like the addition of a flange behind the Y pipe.

How far below the transmission cross member would you guess the whole exhaust system is? 3"?
 
There is enough room to snake two 2 1/8" pipes between the z-bar and the center link/tie rods. Run them down to just in front of the transmission cross member and add a Y connector. Connect that to your 2 1/2" exhaust pipe. Just remember the longer those intermediator pipe are, the more low end tongue you get. When I built mine, I used J tubes from Summit.
