Do you have any pics of where they exit? Looking to see if I would have to rebuild shock hoops and where the end of them ends up for exhaust planning.

Not at the moment. They’re well aft of the shock tower. Not sure where the rear leg of your hoop lands on the frame. The down tubes very close to the firewall footwell junction.

thank you that was the brand i couldnt remember. And if you get a chance to post a few photos i also would like to see the fit, and how far out from the frame to they come out

Buckwild. Those are the questions I've asked Maddog directly. For my 460SBF they point too far down to allow me to turn the exhaust up quickly. I even talked to them about not welding in the collectors so I could shorten them up...then I decided why go to all that cutting of a new set... build a set ... so that's what I'll end up doing... hope they work for you.

Here is what I have. My only complaint is the heat they put right at your feet. And the noise.

Thanks for posting those pics. Sweet looking build you have going on!.


Those pics confirmed they won't fit in my application.

I’ll second the heat and noise. 427 in my race truck. Lots of floor insulation helps. I wrapped my first set and they got so hot they drooped when a muffler hanger let go.
Also dealing with cooked starters.

Drooping headers??? Thats HOT!!

That's why I'll stick with shorties that dump over the frame edge as far from the body as possible. I also have heat shields on the firewall and floorboards and run my 3" tubing where the stock body mounts used to be under the driver and pass floorboards

Pics help a lot, they might work with my current shock hoops and while I don't know if the collector dump location is 100% ideal I should be able to make it work.
