Thank you.

I have an Everlast PowerTig 255ext water cooled. I took it to the shop when doing the tube work so everything on the car was done with this welder.

No, the collectors and mufflers are from Stainless Headers. I just had to weld the muffler to the collector and add the turn-up at the exit.

The flanges and primary tubes are from SPD.

Not sure what you mean about the starter.

If you mean header tubes and the starter, the closest tube is at least 2 or 3 inches away. can take the starter on and off and connect/disconnect wires without removing any header tubes.

It looked tighter in the photo I was looking at. The sweep of the pipes gives a lot of clearance.

Nice work Todd, I always followed your Malibu build on Team Chevelle. Sure a shame about that car, but glad you came out of it OK.
