h-pipes and stuff
I'm about ready to have my exhaust system built on the truck...
'53 f-100 with a
460 and a c-6
sanderson headers
I know the advantages of having an h-pipe setup... but I'm not sure the bender guy will know how to do it... so that will be two of us !!
how do you calculate the best distance from the collector to install the h-pipe and what should the length be between the two pipes...
this could make a huge difference and if it hits under the transmission I need to consider some flanges for removal if I have to drop the transmission in the future...
any exhaust gurus out there ???
thanks
john

I've heard two ways to do it. The first is to place the crossover between 8 and 22 inches behind the header collector. The other is to paint the exhaust and run the engine. Where the paint burns off, place the crossover there. But the second suggestion sounds inaccurate, as this is what to do if you run open headers(whole 'nother deal).
