I love the comment about this build being easy, lol. Thats a good one, Mav! I got started on things tonight and got pretty far. I forgot to bring the camera but everything to the X-pipe is tacked up. While I have it out to finish all the welds I'll take pics. It looks like its going to take approximately 22 seperate pieces of exhaust to do this.
First step was to find the right angle to transfer from the header pointing at approximately 50* to face to the rear. Then I had to mount the first set of ball flanges, followed be the cats, and then make the appropriate bend to the X section of the X-pipe.
There isn't a lot of room to fit the ball flange, the cat and the rear bend between the X and the header. I can't wait to get some more pics up. Hopefully tomorrow night.

Looks good man.

I don't think Marv was calling your build easy. The first time I read that post I thought the same thing as you. I think this is what he meant: I like to see all kinds of builds, even easy builds. Not referring to your build as easy, but he also likes easy builds, more along the lines of a custom shifter or something, as long as it is a build and documented.

From experience, a belt sander is our friend for setting up but welds on exhaust. Did 3" stainless from the headers back on the ranchero, hand fabbed the X pipe and even went over the axles and out the sides. Note the header flange behind the magnaflows. Makes future work so much easier.





Even a "stock" SD 302 sound mean through 3" and Mags

Enjoy,
Jamie
