    Sounds good!

    What mufflers are you using and are you using an 'x' or 'h' style crossover pipe?

    Sounds better than I thought it would. Not as good as a V-8, but not terrible either.

    Sounds great, is the engine stock?

    I'd like to hear what it would sound like with a somewhat bigger camshaft. There are plenty of examples of v8 cam and headers in a split configuration but not so much an inline six.

    I ran those headers for about a decade on a stock 250 with a Weber on top. I had to cut them out when they rusted through. It took a stack of Saws All blades to get through them. I dragged those headers over every speed bump I encountered.

    They sounded decent. Most people thought I had a V8 in it. I had a crossover but I cannot recall who made the muffler.

    Cant see your video to compare.

    Mine is a 250 and have plenty of room for everything. It is a bit close to the starter i would say about a inch away from it.
