Installed the shorty headers and 2 into 1 exhaust from BCB. Fit was good, I did do a little trimming to one of the tubes. I wish these were mandrel bent. I was pleased with how well they tucked up under the body. I made a bracket that allowed the factory heat shield to remain. Headers are excellent quality. I'm using with "P" Heads. Not recommended....I have to loosen the headers to change 3 of the plugs. I'll be adding a tail pipe and small muffler soon to calm the Magnaflow muffler. A little loud for my taste. I do recommend this kit if you want a do-it-yourself install.

Nice job and looks like nice build all the way around. Post up some more pics, I'd like to see more of your rig.

Looks like you have the shortest magnaflow. There are 2 longer magnaflows with the same configuration. I would go with the longest one which would be a lot quieter. However, the Magnaflows have the packing which will eventually break down.

Personally I prefer the chambered style mufflers. Flowmaster 50 series SUV or 70 series. Both of these will remain fairly quiet. The 70 series is very quiet similar to stock.

Gibson has a nice one too, but seems to need a 351w or larger motor to sound good.

Thanks for the comments. The muffler was shipped with the kit. I think a resonator in the tailpipe will help. Worst case I cut it of and get a different muffler.
