Doesnt the pass. side have to have a bend in it to got around the transfer case?? or can i run just striaght tubing past it? and my headers point down a little bit do i have i make a bend to make them fit. or is that degree so minimal it wont matter??

Thanks Liam

Honestly, if you have to ask those questions then you shouldn't be trying to make your own exhaust. To make any decent exhaust you are going to need either an exhaust bender (which most don't) or a chop saw and welder so you can piece together something nice from mandrel bends and straight tubing.

I'm guessing since you were concerned with minor bends, you were planning on using pieces of straight pipe and store-bought elbows?

Walker and Hooker both make complete bolt on kits for headers, and manifolds. don't waste your time.
