utvolman99 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I have a low profile 8qt oil pan and angle plug block hugger style headers. I had a real hard time finding headers that I could afford. These are coated and have 2.5" collectors. My pan flares out just below and behind where the collector ends. I would like to run a 2.5" into 3" system and have already ordered 2.5 to 2.5" reducers and a 2.5" J mandrel J bend with a 3.5" rad. I am planning on fabricating past the oil pan and let a shop do the rest. This is what I will have to do in order to get around my pan... 1. on the passenger side I will have to cut the reducer off almost at the flange and weld on part of my J bend. This 90 degree bend will almost be pointing perpendicular to the centerline of the engine. 2. From there I will be able to use the other 90 to turn the exhaust straight down. 3. Then I should be able to use a more gradual 90 to turn towards the back. Will these three 90s make for big flow problems? My only other option will be to cut on my oil pan. I really dont want to do that. The drivers side will be a lot easier but will be constructed similarly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
