    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    The first Link Devon posted above gives a concise description of the benefits and limits of this design. Very cool! Never heard of this before...

    What does that Stage 2 fit in?

    SP4SPD Slideways in the streets!

    The Stage 2 headers were on a motor that ran in a circle track car in Flint area back in the 70s-early 80s.
    Theres a Youtube video of the motor running on an engine stand out there somewhere....sounded really wicked!

    Sounds nice, but exactly what kind of chassis would those headers fit in?
    Never mind I saw:D

    Here's what it sounds like when you "wing" it! Very cool.

    it would be an interesting concept to use on a 350 Buick, as it now has a higher pitch than the 455 does when listening to it go down the track with just normal headers and duals.
    Bet it would have a totally different sound than those two cars here on the videos.
    A 350 Buick that sounds like an Indy car OK you 350 fabbers where the heck you at get your welders out!
    How come it is always the other people that do this from other manufactures?

    You'd have to route the exhaust thru the windshield and then thru the passenger compartment, OOOOOOOOR, just have open headers to blast yah in the face:p:p:D:D:D:p:p:p

    Amazing work, very cool. Crossover headers are pretty standard fair in the BBF swap world, companies even make them with no fab work needed. Work great and sound wicked.

    I helped my friend install a set of those white BBF headers in a 69 Mustang with a 429 years ago, then a 460 crate motor....both times sucked profusely!
    It does sound good though!

    Suddenly, I am happy with the simplicity of my old rusty cast iron exhaust manifolds. :)

    Wow! That really changed the sound of that V8. Sounds like some kind of Italian Exotic...
