You don't need to touch the height. Looks good like this with chrome wheels. Maybe smaller tire on the rear.

Anyone know what size the wheels are on the red car ('70?).  Are they 16s?
Thanks

Showing this photo you can also show the greeeeaaaat Empi quality (MASSIVE JOKE), look at the perfect symmetry on this brand new header...  Roll Eyes Sad when you know what Empi represents...  Undecided



Edit : I precise I'm not the owner, just a friend who doesn't understand how a mistake like that can happen

looks like the header is off center too.
with regard to the slight tilt; have you tried loosening the bolts, sit on your butt, put your knees under a muffler each and slightly tilt it. have a buddy look from a distance and when you're happening tighten the bolts again.
this is about what i do everytime i take off the dual QPs. given the amount of different makes, 1 o'clock is never quite 1 o'clock... Wink

I've seen a lot of the new 1 3/8" headers built with the collector off center. Probably to get more room when using a single QP. Looks retarded, and I imagine the "equal length" thinking must go out the window.
