I am still working on my Mustang....I finished reworking a set of old headers. So for once I can say that I cut up a set of Hookers. LOL. So I bought a set of 2.5" header extension pipe kit and a universal x pipe kit. After about a hour I reworked extensions so they clear the crossmember yet tuck up under the body. But between the crossmember and driveshaft safety loop I have little room to put in a x pipe.
How far back can I place the x pipe before its no longer useful? At 19" from the header flange the x pipe clears the loop. But this is about half way down the exhaust system. The pipes require a bit of room for all the turns and bends. I have a MIG welder so cutting them to fit and making weird bends can help me a little.
Now this is a 65 Mustang with little room under the car. Also add the loop, the stock 2" exhaust pipe and the horrible placement of the trans crossmember and I almost have a no win case on my hands.
Any ideas?
