I hear 'ya on keeping uniformity while getting a straighter angle. If he is able to do that, it's going to look really cool...

With the two crinkle bends already there from Gardner, can your guy not just increase the amount of those bends with his smooth dies? I would think the crinkles would survive that process if it is not an extreme amount of additional bend.

Plus, if the idea is for it to look like it would have in 1967, that is probably exactly what the muffler shop would have done at that time to install the headers!

Good luck either way, and looking GOOD!!

He could use a smooth die, Jeff but Eric advised it would not work too well on the crinkle bends and we would not be happy with the results.

Would you consider using 3917531/32 Adapter-Exhaust Manif. To Exh. Pipe-L.H./R.H?
It’s listed in AIM UPC O C1.5. I’m sure it would have to be fabricated.

This is what I believe it looks like.

I've heard of this kit but had never seen one, thank you for posting. I found this reference in the AIM shipping manifest. The first part number referenced below if for the instruction sheet.
