Hello, I'm building an exhaust, just for my materials order, has anyone got this dimension?

@ghunt81

specify if you're on centerline or outside to outside, etc...

Thanks!

I guess my question would be, are you basing this off a particular brand of headers, stock manifolds, or what?

I don't care, they are near the frame rails and this is a general dimension so I can mock up the 3d model of the midpipe and order material, then I'll adjust to suit. You were installing JBA's, which are basically what I have going. I have some chinese copies that were almost free that I am doing a trial of (before I probably switch to 1 3/4" dynatech's or something sweet.)

OK, I was just asking because based on pictures I've seen of various brands of headers installed, they don't all have the same distance between collectors.

Anyway- I still have to get mine tightened down but I'll see if I can get a measurement.

Ah, what are ya gonna do. I'll maybe scale from some photos. I know the pipe OD, should be close enough.

I just ran out and put a tape across it- looks like 26 3/4" outside-outside. 2.5" reducers.
