No, I took that picture at a power show just west of Milwaukee in Sussex, WI. I've seen it in other parts of the state tooling down the highway. It's not exactly stock, he's got a monster Cadillac engine and a IH rear end with some high Ford gears in it. I've seen him haul a fifth wheel RV down the highway without a sweat, really nice truck. I've only met the owner once, at the Sussex show. He owns a couple of other interesting big trucks.

The Caddy engine's nice but once you have the headers and straight pipes on that flattie you're going to in love. Beleive me, a flattie has it's own sound and it will turn heads.

I have glass packs on my panel and I think the glass is finally starting to burn out. when I got the engine it was really quiet, kind of disappointing but now it starting to get a nice mellow flattie rumble coming out of it now. I have read that the old timers used to pour diesel fuel down the glass packs to hasten the deterioration of the fiberglass inside. They'll eventually deteriorate on their own and become close to be straight throw pipes.

That's originally what I had in mind-that looks good! I'm sure it sounds pretty badass too.
For that though are there any problems with air/fuel or backpressure. Does anything need to be adjusted to run headers with sidepipes or no?
Also is it expensive to go to a 4 tube header vs. the siamese 3 tube? Is it worth it?
Thanks!

Yep at 3 1/2 inch diameter the pipes are plenty big. They have a built in muffler but do have a very low throaty rumble! When I'm in a mood I love driving through the market parking lot and setting off all the car alarms
And yes they were expensive (I think). I had to have them custom made - the headers and the transition tube (the side pipes are Patriots) all together with powder coating and choming they were $1700 - two years ago.
Welcome!

I don't know if I do, I'll have to check my shop computer but I lost a bunch of files about 6-7 monthes ago when my computer crashed, thankfully the place that I buy my computers from was able to retrieve my business documents. The images I have were on my web site sever and some on my home computer.
