Thanks for the tailpipe pictures. I cannot use stock splitters as the pipes are 3" and the input to the splitters is only 2 1/2" or maybe 2 1/4".
I like the way the original pipe was bent flatter to clear. We're trying to figure out how to do that.
Gus68, we have the tube in place to protect the starter wiring. It's not as long as the one you used, but goes from the bottom edge of the valve cover to the solenoid connections--from the backside of the engine. I didn't take pictures before we put the headers on, so you can't see the tube.
