Building Equal Length Headers
Well since the engine build is creeping up on me sooner than later. I figured a nice set of equal length headers would be a nice compliment So I picked up an old engine I had at my folk's place and put together a shell of an automatic. Bolted it together and flipped it over. I then put on a good set of engine mounts I had laying around and placed an extra front subframe on top of the mounts... I shimmed the performance bar(torque bar) so it is at the proper height and angle.
I ordered the following pieces in which I will be building them 8 Mandrel bent J-bends from Summit 1 3/4" OD 2 Exhaust manifold flanges from Small Car's Vanagon site 2 3-1 10" collectors from Stahl Headers in York PA Should be fun, I cannot wait to get these pieces in the mail this week and get started... esp. since the end of the semester at school is upon me If anyone has suggestions or advice, feel free to drop some feedback but right now they will be similar to what svxfiles has on his car.

Tom, you certainly go about things in the correct manner. It is hard to provide advice. All one can do is emphasize what you already know.
The difficult part which requires extra attention, well worth the effort, is the junction points and preserving free flow in these areas. This will be where you can exhibit your sheet metal skills. Wishing you a hastle free project, Trevor.
