Default Do any long tube headers have a straight Driver's side collector?

All of the Long Tubes I have seen pics of have had the Driver's side collector at an angle. Then the Y-pipe has an extra bend in it. Makes building an X-pipe dual system a bit of a headache. Do ANY longtubes have BOTH driver's side and Passenger's side collectors parallel to the transmission/body? If not, why? If so, who?

The xpipe still isn't that bad with the angled header.You just need to put more pipe from the x to the 45 on that side.

Other than that it looks good, you make them yourself?

Do you guys know if it is exactly 45°? If so, then it will not be all that bad. Just an additional 3" 45° piece from the header to the X-pipe.

Yes Mighty Mouse those are impressive. I am cheap so I am probably gonna go with Dynatechs and put some more practical collectors on them.

As long as you get the pipe from the x to the 45 right you won't have a problem.

Thanks justin. I like the looks of your x-pipes. Can you make them with the rear tubes transitioning to oval pipe?
