And for all you folks its a T1 1776..
70/71 bus (its a split year bus)

A-1 makes a great header for the 71 bus bay window.Ceramic coated and good performance.You will not be sorry.Sell the one you currently own and get an A-1 :wink:

Where does the header interfere with the mount?

It will look simuliar to a type-3 header,pipes are bent to clear rear support bar.

I used to run a Bugpack Streetmax header and an A1 dynomax Muffler on my two olds 1775 engines, very nice setup:

And I had a new custom all stainless steel A1 sidewinder exhaust for my new 2074 engine:

More pics on my blog, in French sorry :wink:
