I ordered the true duels with magnaflo mufflers from cc on there ebay add and figured that I would get the tight tuck headers later on. I called cc yesterday and told them what I have and would the tight tuck headers work and they said that it wouldn't because the stock manifold was shorter than the headers and I would have to ship back the front pipes and get the ones that would work properly. I say this because you said that you were going to do this a little at a time . Hope this helps. Vince

Took a little trial and error but fit ok. I want to thank all you guys for your input. The car is still up on jacks because I'm going to change the rear shocks.Can't wait to go for a ride. Weather is getting nicer everyday.

Yeah, the left one's hanging a little low. Its that last 10% of the job that takes 90% of the time.

You're right about that. Just a little patience goes along way. A little footnote the exhaust I took off had Midas stamped on the mufflers. Go figure.

Ok just about there. Front end rebuilt with the poly bushings,ball joints tie rods ,front shocks,etc . New exhaust in place. Now the rear shocks are on order along with new strut rods with rubber bushings. I figured I'll do the strut rods so I can get a true alignment. What do you guys think ?

I used the supports that CC supplied with the exhaust kit. I installed them on the other side of the cross member. There was holes there already. Still tweaking the exhaust a little bit.

Ok everything's in place .My next question is curved exhaust tips or straight one's? That should finish off the installation of the exhaust. Shocks are in along with the new strut rods. I will be posting pics over the weekend.
