Best place to buy J bends?

[bszopi]

Both S&S and TOG, who made headers for the 3400 GA, had the fronts going over the tranny.

Pretty sure rebelgt made his own collectors...

[RebelGT]

the collectors and headers were made by Domination Chassis, 412-999-1910
just refer to the "locost 7" collectors.

[Fiero11]

Jegs and Summit have many sizes in mild and stainless, JC Whitney also. Hedmen makes the collectors.

The cheapest place I've found yet. Pretty good quality and moderately fast shipping.

$7.99 for 1.5in pipe with 2.5 or 3" radius. Thats like $63.92 for 8 U-bends. They also sell straight lengths of pipe.

btw, If you do go with 1 5/8, I may be interested in those collectors you have already.

Sounds good Dave. 1 1/2" should be plenty for a mildly modified 3400. Are you going with long tubes or shorties this time?

Btw, make sure to post lots of pics. I have to redo my front header and I'm thinking of going over the trans.

I went under the pan and they were tucked very well. They still het the ground. I've learned my leason. I will either go over the trans or use a flat pipe to go under the pan and connect with the header.

Or notch the oil pan

[FallenZ24]

Yeah, but that is going a little overboard. You may open up a can of worms with oil pickup issues.

[IsaacHayes]

If you're swapping a 3500 then the oilpan is notched already for you.

It would be nice if that pan was a bolt-on swap.. lol

[IsaacHayes]

True, but soon we'll be able to swap in 3500's with the CPS adapter or new crank tone ring. Probably be a while before the swaps become common. Gotta wait till more 3500's go to junkyards and prices come down..

[Superdave]

Everything came in today except for the 5' piece of 1.5" that i ordered, I think UPS just left it on the truck... bastards
