Pretty damned impossible to get a picture showing the whole layout, but I have some cellphone pix that show how the pipes are routed before the cat. PM me your email and I'll forward them to ya'.

sorry if you take my offer as an insult, not how i ment it. i said that price cuz they are used and wrapped. wrapping is not good for headers.

Never understood the logic there. How is wrapping headers a problem when ceramic coating is not? If the header is made well (as in no thin cheap flanges and tubing; hedman, flowtech, etc) there are no ill effects that I've ever seen.
All I know is keeping the heat in the exhaust means more velocity and scavenging and that I never had sealing, warpage, weld, or rust issues with the headers after wrapping and painting. Plus it keeps underhood temps way down.

wrapping doesnt let the tubing expand like it should. causes them to crack and warp and what not. eveyone has their own preferences though.

Say whaaa?? Wrap is flexible... I really don't agree that wrap will prevent metal from expanding and contracting. Maybe if it was a continuous hard and well adhered surface coating, like ceramic, that doesn't flex/stretch much before cracking, it might prevent the metal from expanding.
