misterp Posted October 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Length - they publish the tubing diameters (1-7/8" tube and 3" collectors) but not the lengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 ill try and get them for you tommorrow , just wondering what your up to?Well I just wanted to research the Pacesetters as an alternative to my first exhaust idea, that of buying a used pair of Dynatechs, cutting the collectors off, lengthening the primaries to 32", and adding back on a 3" x 10" merge collector. But if the Pacesetters measure up then I'll go with a pair of those instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_bnoon_SS Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 that of buying a used pair of Dynatechs, cutting the collectors off, lengthening the primaries to 32", and adding back on a 3" x 10" merge collector. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Get out of my head... that's why I got a used set of AS&M headers last year!!! I didn't like the collectors used on any of the truck headers and I want/need the extra 10 HP/TQ usually found by using a proper hour glass shape of a true merge collector. Great minds think alike!

So what is the latest thinking in this process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as nice as Burns, (but mild steel is CHEAP to coat) and the transition would have to be welded on by yourself... http://www.ssheaders.com/collectors.htm and http://www.headermania.com/mm5/merchant.mv...e=COLLECTORSPMC I've been studying this for quite a while.
