I think you’ll be ok, my t-case is clocked up and I ran a 90 off the manifold.
Sucks you have a trans pan. Mine made itself comfortable.
Cool. I forgot you were clocked up. My front axle joint maxes out angle at droop. I want to roll the pinion up but don’t wanna lose caster.
I’m pretty happy with how it’s turning out so far.
Looks good. It looks like you used V-band clamps to get around some of the issues of welding in tight spots. Did you get various 45 and 90 degree bend flanged tubing, and then just cut them to length?
I used the v-band clamps to make the crossover pipe easy to remove if I ever have to drop the inspection cover. Yeah I bought 45’s and 90’s and some straight sections and cut to fit. I tacked it then pulled it to weld it up fully.
Almost buttoned up.
The last 45 at the end is just temporary. I am going to bring it the rest of the way out with a 90. Just wore out and it’s getting hot out.
Holy SHIT does this thing sound badass. So much of a deeper tone. Funny I took out the big block and now it sounds like it has a big block!

Looks awesome! Dammit now I am gonna end up buying v band clamps!!
I got them from amazon. They have both kinds, the flat face and the male/female interlocking. I got the interlocking ones and they work sweet.
I have a temporary exhaust system I put together on my truck, and there is one spot where I had to weld it while it was on the truck. It was a hard to get to spot about 2-inches long over the top of the pipe that I could not get to with my mig welder, and it is leaking there. The tail pipe on my truck just has a turn-down about 1-foot past the rear diff.

Trying to get this shock hoop brace finished. It’s already too hot out 
It’s in. Just have to paint the welded spots. Test drive next.
It’s all good. The idle wants to hunt a little some times, so I need to tune that out. But so far so good.
Hahahha. Negative.
Still very rich at 80-100 kpa and timing is very conservative still, but it sure is nice to be able to get the hell outta my own way.
