In regards to Wadesdad's concerns about motor flex - I used the rubber hoses at each end of the pipes to allow for flex and vibration isolation. I got the fabricated coolant hoses ceramic coated at Airborn in OKC for $20 for the upper and lower set. (Airborn had already done the headers and side pipes for $350). I gave the muffler guy $20 to make the pipes from my coathanger pattern. It did take a visit through the local auto parts store's inventory of rubber radiator hoses to find the right shaped 1 1/2" and 1 3/4" hoses. I cut out pieces of the rubber hoses with best angled shapes for the lower hose. I also incorporated an expansion tank in my system.
