Patriot H8412-B Headers

[AOCUSNRET]

I have a set of Patriot Headers H8412-B that I purchased a couple of years ago that I am just now getting around to installing. The passenger side seems to point inward more than the other side. Has anyone experienced this with this brand? I was expecting them to be point straight back. If anyone has these installed on their car that could share a pic or two, that would be appreciated.

Thanks all.

I cannot provide any useful info on that set of headers, but a long time ago, this was discussed, as part of a good overall engine build on this forum. For what it’s worth:

351 C 2v upgrade quick & dirty

I am having a hell of time trying to get set and decided on a system for a little power boost. I want to go from 2bbl to 4bbl I am up for trying a new carb and intake I don't want to change heads or cam. How can you do it? What components?

At least you might ask the originator on the recommendation if he has experience, if he’s still around.

AOCUSNRET,
I have Patriot H8414-B on my 71fb-Cleveland 4V with PS and they fit well with Toploader/ Tremec TKX with stock bellhousing and C4.
no ps bracket needed.
The only odd thing is the rh header does point 15 degrees inward.
I did have to purchase a 15 degree mandrel bend pipe to make my X pipe work well.
They don't hang too low and I am very pleased with them.
Been on my car for about 5 years now and no rust.

Thanks for the replies. Just looks a little odd to me. I am having a local shop put the exhaust on. They have been in business for a long time, so I hope that they will make it work and look correct.
