Very nice Tri-Y headers there Stan.
Mark @ Mad Dog Headers, when he was in Michigan did a set like that (which were remove-able in sections but mine used 4 tube "FLAT" collectors.

My GTO now has Tri-Y headers (and the exhaust system is stainless), like yours. VERY NICE!!

Very nice

I’ve always been curious why these aren’t offered from someone like Hooker? Superior in design, fitment and ground clearance

Can you get chevy try y’s off the shelf for a 350 in a 2nd gen?

Nice job… now I wish I did my set like these. I’ll start over now. Just need to find a spare 80 hrs this week.
How many hrs do you estimate it took?
