...will fit on a 350F, as well. I'm pretty sure that the 550's have 1.5" headers, while the 350's have 1.25 inch, so some reducer sleeves would need to be used. Are they otherwise the same length and restriction?

Has anyone done this?

I did it with Jardines, and the angles of where the headpipes and the slipons meet was slightly off. I wound up having to heat and bend the pipe on the slipon a bit, so that things would line up. The right side was especially off. As far as the exhaust O.D., That was the same.
