Most of them i have seen go 4 into 1 , but are side by side when the exhaust exits the front of the vehicle . I have never seen any dyno stats on them , if remember right DOUGS headers use to make equal length headers that exited out the bottom . May start there if ya just gotta have set .

You can never fit 8 into 1 headers in a G body......look at the firbird and the engine is sitting half way into the passnger compartment and the tubing is sitting in front of the engine. I wonder with all the heat in front of the engine how hot the engine will be running. It looks like they'd have to remove the engine to do a plug change.

Guess a 2016 camaro nose won't fit either.:rolleyes:
I do have more room to move the radiators having the camaro nose than the average g body does & if I do this someday it will be a much more compact shorter tube version, not a highly tuned version. It would also be mild steel to be powdercoated, not stainless.

Since this is a G body forum I assumed you were talking about a G body......when are you starting your build thread?

This is closest to a build thread right now. I've done several threads over the years such as steel ground effects. There is also a you tube video in this thread from earlier this year before I started cutting back apart & ran out of time.

I'd assume everyone can see flicker link & outdated you tube link in all my posts???? Lost most pics on photobucket & waiting to get more completion ( shiny paint) to update.
As many others here know, I have lots of unusual stuff going on , but most is unfinished. Widebody will get my physical time, exhaust headers get my research play time.
Have additional underneath front bracing & have relocated radiators once, could do again.
Few other older pics, including tri-y headers I started on.

It just isn't worth the effort, unless it is.

Time to sh*t or get off the pot.

Ran across this at a car show South of Eugene Oregon a couple years ago. Built up aluminum BBC with these wild headers shoehorned in there. Sounded wicked. Dude said it made 750ish horsepower. Wild ride in that coffin car.
