Can anyone with long tube headers send me a pic of your pipe setup at the collectors? I have a 79 F-250 4X4 Super Cab and I have installed Headman Headers on my new 400 and need to run some pipes now. There is no room for the pipes to cross over to the passanger side that I can see. They are to close to the trans crossmember. Can I see how yours were done. They are about the same as a Bronco!!

Please email pics to [email protected]

I just bought some cheap flexable pipe so I could put some mufflers on it to break in my new motor. It was so loud with open headers I could not hear the motor itself. Any pics you can send me with you setups would give some ideas.

Thanks

You can kinda see what the last guy did to mine in this pic. They just went under then bent them up. I don't like it and am planning on changing the wheel well exits this summer. There is no room make any bends to get over the crossmember, and the drive shaft is in the way on the driver's side anyway. Good luck.

Yup, same as the Broncos. You might want to consider a fenderwell exit. It's a very cheap & simple system to build and by routing the exhaust out from between the framerails you gain a LOT of space to work in not to mention getting the hot exhaust out from there too.

if you have a fenderwell exit does the fumes come right into the passanger window when its open?

No, well, not if you run an actual exhaust and not just open headers. Take another look at the photos I posted. With a Fenderwell exit header you usually run a muffler & short straightpipe down to just in front of the rear tire & then kick it out there. The exhaust just disappears. The *only* time I've ever run across problems with exhaust coming back into the truck is when guys shoot a set of duals straight out & under the rear bumper. Bronco's (and Blazers & RamChargers for that matter) have a low-pressure area right behind the truck as they drive down the road, if the exhaust exits right under the rear bumper then it gets caught up in the swirl there and will be sucked back into the passenger area if the rear window is down (those little roof wings will prevent it if you add one but not everyone likes the look of them). Kicking it out the side in front of the rear tire poses no problem whatsoever. If you look at the photo closely you can see that I've run this exhaust with the cap that not only has the sliders windows but also the small vent windows and even with everything open I never had a problem either in slow traffic or running down the road. Just don't shoot it out the rear under the bumper, it should really kick out to the side either in front of or behind the rear tires but NOT straight out the back.
