I guess what I really need is to see some pictures of what others have built off of Tom Langdon's cast headers. This is on a 292 in a '68 Chevy C/10. Does anyone offer a Y pipe for coming off the headers or is this a custom-built thing?

Thanks,
Pritch

Pritch, I believe I got my Y from Flowmaster and made the headpipes from two different sizes of exhaust pipe to taper down to fit the Y.

Thanks, Sam. That sure looks like what I need. I can't decide if I should try this myself or haul it down to a muffler shop. That would be a PITA.

BTW, Where's Castle Valley? I should know, but I can't place it.

Just upstream from Moab. It is the town of Castle Valley, in little castle valley, and big castle valley is the area around Price.

A muffler shop would be much easier. Just too far away to suit me so I mostly do everything myself that I can.

Muffler shops do have mandrel bends, the performance muffler/exhaust shops, infact, some shops here have mandrel bending machines on site.

I'll probably end up hauling it down to a muffler shop. I'm 50 miles from the closest one, in Salt Lake. I was just trying to avoid that, because it will be a big fat PITA. Oh well. Won't be the first one.
