for those who run the clifford header - or want to

[streetpirate]

how many are running a clifford, and who out of those have done/are doing a true dual exhaust? im planning on a true dual with an x pipe, but im not sure aboutwhere to put the downpipes, or the crossover.

how are you gonna do a dual exhuast with one head?

you mean your going to Split the downpipe?

or are you gonna put in a Hemi?

you're going to have a tough time fitting it all. both tubes have to crossover to the passangers side, past the crossmember to clear the front driveshaft. and probably cross back over in the rear infront of the gas tank. the problem is that with 2 pieces of 2.5" are not going to provide any back pressure, and really arent going to fit, id run the x pipe right at the crossmember

 

[streetpirate]

there should be no problem with backpressure, the myth of backpressure being good is that when you reduce the backpressure the engine will run leaner, which isnt a problem if you run an AFR gauge and an adjustable map voltage.

its all in that dang crossmember! i might end up making a custom one or just running the exhaust under it (yeah i know) to get it done.

heres the kicker, can i run sidepipes and make it look good. it couldent be too bad, tid look kind of like rock rails

i tried to run my exhaust under mine....dont even bother trying

what you need to do is cut the crossmember up, and weld in a piece of 4x6 box tubing, that should give you plenty of room to run your exhaust THROUGH the crossemember

yes you could run side pipes and make it look good, but i dont think its worth the work. or are you taking run the exhaust out side the "frame" rail all the way back? theres no room for a muffler unless you run a glass pack

 

[streetpirate]

no, a buddy of mine brought up putting the side pipes on last night.

it would either look terrible or badass, im just not sure which. take the heat shields in and powdercoat them black.

good idea on the crossmember, thats probally what i'll do, and if i stick to the current plan, i'll run side exits in front of the rear tires.(ive got this aar-t/a fetish, i want to paint the hood black and put a t/a scoop on it, and aar side stripes) i know, im a douchebag.

I ordered my clifford header yesterday, black ceramic coated. Im not running true duals but i will have dual comming off the header and then into a 2.5" single into my 2.5" cat and out into my 2.25" dynomax cat back.

Or you could check out the custom exhaust that's attached to my 4.6 stroker:

I've even got sound files.
Basically it's a Borla header that's had the original 2.25" outlet replaced by a 3.0" outlet, a custom 3.0" downpipe to replace the Borla 2.25" unit, Flowmaster muffler with 3.0" inlet, 2.5" outlet, Magnaflow 2.5" muffler, and Mike Leach 2.5" tailpipe.

i think sidepipes would look badass especially on a 2-door

ceramic won't stop it from burning ya

here's mine, didn't do a dual system, don't think you gain anything, well becides another muffler, cat, and more pipe.

Is that a hesco head?

 

[tealcherokee]

Is that a hesco head?

better yet, what block is that.....is that hescos aluminum block, or is it chromed or painted?

it looks imaculate

 

[Mike1331]

What ever it may be, from top to bottom its flippen sexy. I'll admitt i'm a little aroused, I wanna see more.

 

[Dr. Dyno]

Is that a hesco head?

Yes, it's a Hesco aluminium head together with Yella Terra 1.7 RR's and Clifford header. Sweeeeeeet combo. Looks like there's a MORE bombproof engine mount in the photo too. :thumbup:

 

[JoJo97XJ]

thats ecxatly what i plan on doing brent, looks great, did you run a 2 1/4" pipe or 2 1/2 "? also what kinda HP gains do you think you got and how hard was the install?
