Looks like a prefect fit for an x-pipe.

We are think along the same Lines. I just ordered 2 3" 180* 4.5"CL Bends from Burns Stainless. If I can keep them seperate I will. If not I will do a X pipe kinda deal and go from there.

I'm not sure how a x would affect the flow, if keeping the separate is preferred you could just flatten the the outsides of them and still weld them together. Either way will look sweet.

I'm going to disagree with you on this. Late 1970's Trans Ams will pull 30k in concours shape. A 79 silver anniversary with no miles recently brought 59k. The cars were 8-10k new and not near as collectible as the Ram Air III, IV stuff. The 4th gens have a very unique look and I feel in maybe 20 years will be a mid range collector car with similar appreciation to the late 70's cars.

Bring me a Late 1970's Trans Ams in concours shape and I will show you how to drive the **** out of it.

If people only knew how many true First Gen SS Camaro's I've taken part in cutting up to build race cars. Point being, if someone is gonna build a 1000+ RWHP 4th Gen F-Body they most likely are not concerned with what the car is gonna be worth in 20 years.

I would go with an extra layer of pipe on the outside turn of those 3" DP's. It's gonna get hot. Why'd you make it so tight?

What Harness?
This is a Mock up Clip I use to build my setups. Just the front half of a 4th Gen F-Body. I have one for a Fox Mustang too.

Josh, have you considered designing some cast stainless heders? Just thinking they would save you guys a lot of fab time! Plus they could probably be designed more compact than convention tubular headers. Just a though!
