Damn 40 yrs on exhaust alone?!? I bet he could make a hellacious system.

Then I'll put the rest on and dump it before the tire with a cheap thrush or something.
You could do a Maggie for 80 bucks.

Yeah man. He's in his early 60's. Really knows his stuff. Talked me out of running dual 3's due to lack of back pressure on a N/A engine.

Your plan sounds good. great flow & enough back pressure. Will do good with the charger. Get all new pipes when you do it.
Ya It will be 100% new

We talking first run on the dyno. Or completely tuned? Or pushing the limits?
