After having started hacking into my new SD headers... I disagree. I bought a pacesetter weld-in flex to replace the one that came with it. After staring at Intrigue's pictures and trying to assemble the pieces on my jig, it is short a few inches of pipe. Staring and arguing with my uncle about how to make it work, we came to the conclusion that Intrigue used a slip-on flex which has roughly 2 inches of pipe on both sides and provides pipe to slip into the race-pipe/cat. This may have been obvious to some, but not to me. I will now be sending back my weld-in flex and buy a slip-on.
Just saying so that if somebody else reads this they can learn from my mistake.
Been asked like a thousand times. Headers will replace the down pipe.I'm not sure if its been asked before but I've already got a 3" DP, would that work with SDs?
It isn't difficult to add extra pipe except that nobody in the area has any 3" OD stainless pipe. Made a half dozen phone calls to machine shops/steel shops and nobody had any stainless. When you get into western Minnesota, there isn't much around, so I have to change my plan. I don't know that I'll have time to deal with them again until spring break; doesn't work to have your daily in pieces for more than a day, so if things don't work like planned, you're screwed.I suppose it depends on how you cut it but yea Intrigue used the stock piping reread his thread if needed but adding additional pipe if needed isn't difficult if you have someone welding them for you.

To be honest I have no idea if you could do that. Here's pic of what I have hacked apart on the rears to this point on the headers, depending on your dp, maybe you could modify it/weld it to make it work.I understand that. I wasn't sure if I could use the DP I use and not worry about the SD DP nonsense
Crappy photo, but got it done. Thanks everyone for your help.

Intrigue would have used a ZZP dual wall flex. I know him and am sure that's what he had on hand.
