If I had what I stated in that thread back in 1970 I could have polished my brass so fast I could have spent an extra hour or two at the NCO club.Scars are tatoos of the fearlessComment

This sounds like an EXCELLENT advantage. And there are those who say individually-flanged tubes tend to make for a better seal. I don't want to ask how much $$$$ and/or time is represented there, but I really like it!Originally posted by turbo2256b View Post2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

Transmission bit of a mistery bot think it has the guts, tail shaft. tail shaft HSG and front pump from a 4R70W. I know a AOD slip yoke wont fit neither will a AOD torq converter. What I do know is there is a B&M shiter hooked to it, a Lentec valve body installed as well as a B&M deep panAttached FilesScars are tatoos of the fearlessComment

Very nice stuff.
Any idea what the average primary tube length? What's the reasoning behind where they end?

Not shure about actual tube length I know they are not truely equal length. They are much more effective than most aftermarket stuff though. Main reason for that is that no are bends coming out of the flange at the head. Spacing under the car has some to do with were they end along with placing of the X pipe and cutouts. Sometimes think an H pipe might have been better than the sharper bends to form the X. Then again just fllip a switch and the cutouts open and a car as quiet as stock in seconds is transformed to open headers and unrestriced flow.Originally posted by johnunit View Post
BTW the cutouts are not currently installed. Nailing it with things closed has bent the flap on several ocasions and one time even broke the shaft into 3 pieces on one. When they were working opening them turned heads and there was that WTF looks on faces atthe drags, car shows, autocrossing etc.Last edited by turbo2256b; 10-08-2011, 09:54 AM.Scars are tatoos of the fearlessComment
