    Hey, looks just like mine only 1/2" bigger. You will love the tone it gives your exhaust. What mufflers are you running? I have the 40 series Flowmasters.

    Very impressive, although 3" dual exhausts is way excessive for a small-block...Even tricked-out one...

    His is an 1/8 mile race car. It yanks the front wheels off the ground, he needs excessive pipes.

    No actual dyno numbers, the car has never been on a dyno. I did have the mufflers just bolted to the header and it was just too loud so I installed the X-pipe hoping it would quiet it down a bit but I don't think it did much. I changed to the 1 3/4" headers at the same time as well as a buch of other things so i'm sure the horsepower is up i'm just not sure how much......

    dang Steve, that cars cleaner on the bottom than my car is the top lol.. looks great, kinda makes me wish i would have went that route..

    and just for the record we changed from a Victor Jr to a Super Victor, 1 1/2" headers to 1 3/4" and went from 2 1/2" exahust to 3" and picked up 3/4 of a second at the race track,, thing deffinitly likes to breath :D
