Stephen just texted me and said he can get the 1 7/8" TTI B/E body headers to fit in the Rocky, just have to reroute one #7 tube on the driver's side and "massage" a tube (probably #8) on the Pass side. Psyched about getting a proper sized system on the 414 finally and getting rid of the 1 5/8" 'pipe-cleaners' that were on there. Really can't say enough great things about Stephen and Mike Daurity, awesome people with awesome skillz...plus always a heapin' helping of that NC hospitality Hoping Stephen will post up some pics if he's up to it

85.5" But once it's off the line it goes straighter than ANYTHING I've ever driven in 32 yrs, Chip can tell you (since he stood behind it at the line) it tracks like it was on rails. What I think helps it is the steering box is a very slow ratio and the weight distribution is uncannily well balanced, the CG is directly under my butt! (see the sketch I did a couple yrs back)

I'm expecting the bigger tubes to kill just a little bit of the bottom end and maybe soften the converter hit .... Na the 1 5/8 jake brake headers snuffed that too, The 1 7/8 tubes will cut that small block loose from the hit to max turns
