heres my twin termin,badass gear right there. i know its ironic ,but thats not the cheapest way to end your exaust line,since i did not buy headers,and i dont have to buy any cat i putted extra doe on something else.anyway i only paid 115 bux for the 2 of hem. long story..(and i still dont know if im putting the two of hem on, maybe its just useless..)

this is the original setup with the closed ending using the manifold end .for that i just used some peices of metal ,2 actualy ,one over the other ,and i cutted them in a circle patern,so it could fit in there ,than i placed the manifold seal on it and to finish i bolted the crossover pipe end on top of that and i sealed it with some muffler compound ,but the compound is really not doing anything i just putted some cause i had it close to me.

Thanks man, I'm looking into this mod myself, I am in the process of diong the HG and transmission swap and will do this mod, but have to wait until you are done. I would like if you list what angle did you use on those pipe so it'll be easy way to go and purchase them easier. Why two muffler? It doesn't seem like you are following as the picture you post, will this mod mate before the O? Sensor be located? Thanks a lot. GL man.

If you are going to weld it, you should have bought mandrel bends instead of pressure bends for your exhaust pipes. That will reduce heat and help flow & performance.

as for the problem with the distributor not getting to sit in position ,i found the problem. plz no comments: i putted my heads THE WRONG SIDE. ahhh
,when i first see that,i was really pissed then i just figured out,its all good , there exacly the same ,exept the mount for the power stering and the distributor hole,so i putted shims behind the P-ST bracket and retaped the dist hole and voila.! anyway ,for the cheif mod heres the update: i got the pipe welded and im cutting the last peice that conect everything up.

i know it sounds crazy but the cam caps fits perfecly,no mismatch watsever,and i sealed them anyway with some high heat and oil ressitant packing. and i cant afford to switch the heads ,its gonna cost me another set of head gasket and alot of pain in the butt. so there is no turning back now.
