It's all down hill from there! Congrats on a good looking set of headers! You should see a big improvement.
Make sure you get some video of the 1st pass

I am making the turnout finely.I have to patch in part of the elbow but it was just way too close to the ground and if any liquid came out it would be on the tires like I had oil from the evac tube but fixed that I hope.

My other option is to have them point out to the side more and the pipes in a square pattern not flat inline.The long pipe in the rear just need to be cut shorter to match the others.

I definitely would not do the square pattern, it would look unfinished like you forgot to install the collector or something.

Since the car has a blower you could get away with the flat pattern zoomies but you will never be able to put mufflers on it in the future, so as long as you're ok with that you should be fine.

The pipes seperate/slip on at the fender so I just remove one and replace it with the other with a collector end that I have to redo so a muffler can fit.I need to run a strap on the pipes to hold them togather on the lower part and support them also.Any ideas?

If you can weld a strap across the 4 tubes then attach
a hanger at that point... then when you change to a
collector you might be a bile to attach at that same
point with the hanger... I use a certain style of
hanger with a rod and rubber block.. this has more
fore and aft movement than sideways which all exhaust
grown in length... of course you have to mount it
in the direction of growth... this one isnt attached
at this time to the pipe
