    Accurate Exhaust

    Just my experience with all 3. TTI has excellent customer service, had to cut intermediate pipes to fit on 62 Dart and 64 Fury (on my 62 Dart had to fabricate collectors). Accurate on my 67 Barracuda, with turn down tail pipes. Bolted right in, no issues, not mandrel but not crush bent to heck...

    Rear valance dual exhaust mod on a /6 car

    Turndowns are 67 bb only, from the factory, they came with the correct valance that has (barely) halfmoon cutouts, which I believe is reproduced. I bought the Accurate exhaust years ago, fit like a glove, no cutting or modification needed.

    Installing Accurate dual exhaust on ‘67 Barracuda

    I had that issue on a TTI exhaust and happened to have a few stainless strap exhaust clamps I used instead of what was supplied. They work much better, by a long shot. Squeezes the pipe evenly around the entire diameter, are easy to get on and off, and they don't rust. Traditional exhaust...

    Installing Accurate dual exhaust on ‘67 Barracuda

    I have 1 pic on my phone, yeah that's a rusty rocker, so what. Original dual exhaust car, yes, the pipes look a little low from roughly the driveshaft to the mufflers, but you have to be lying on the ground to notice, and no, no clearance issues Clarence! This has the 67 big block turn downs...

    Installing Accurate dual exhaust on ‘67 Barracuda

    I have a 67, Accurate exhaust, no modifications whatsoever, fit perfectly. I've had the gas tank in and out too many times for a junk in-tank pump and r&r was cake. It's late, I'm tired, remind me tomorrow and I'll post a thousand pics if still needed.

    Header Paint

    I used the Rust-oleum grill paint, lasted years. I tested a small section after 1 coat with map gas and nothing. Started to get rust spots on the top of the highest pipes and some other small areas. Paint never flaked off. Had them blasted and ceramic coated. Lasted a year.

    TTI v. Accurate

    They sure do. They have a pretty good diagram on their website of the exhaust.

    TTI v. Accurate

    I have Accurate on an a-body. Fit perfect right out of the box, all brackets and hardware spot on. It is original style with all the correct bends, smaller diameter after the mufflers iirc. Had it for years, sounds great. No issues. I have tti on a b-body. I got the smallest diameter, which...

    TTI Rust

    Asked a follow-up on re-using gaskets, if I have to order new just want to do it now because my local parts store won't have poly exhaust gaskets, just the header to head gaskets. I think I'd buy my groceries, gas, and everything else from them if I could: We will be sending you new header...

    TTI Rust

    Think I can re-use the gaskets? They're pretty hefty, not sure once removed.

    TTI Rust

    HOLY MOLY TTI!! I just received a reply and I couldn't be happier. To clarify, I was professional and I didn't ask for a warranty, new headers, only information. In fact, I stated I wouldn't send them back because it was to much trouble. Wow, restored my faith. We apologize for the header...

    TTI Rust

    No time to call today so I sent an email with a few questions, including: To ceramic coat the Poly headers it's an additional $60. For # TTi 383440-134C4 it's an additional $185 and it's listed differently as ceramic with a thermal barrier. Is this a better coating than what is applied to the...

    TTI Rust

    I get it, you want nice stuff then take care of it. Other than the scratches on the driver top tube from install, these are close to clean as new. They also state to spray WD40 where the tubes are welded to the flanges and where tubes are in close proximity because rust can start there and...

    TTI Rust

    Why don't they offer aluminized headers? The exhaust is aluminized. I spent years thinking I skimped on ceramic every time to save a few bucks. To find out it's baloney and I still have to pull them regularly to fix rust is really annoying.

    TTI Rust

    Bought them from TTI coated. Too bad, nice pipes. On another car bought raw headers and had those coated at the only place even close to me that does it, they rusted sooner than the TTIs. They're not rusting from the inside, and I doubt moisture can get under it unless the prep was shotty...

    TTI Rust

    Bought/installed in July 2018, showing rust 5 months later. Rust on the tubes, not even in the joints. 2 year warranty on coating, have to pack up and pay shipping there and back. TTI doesn't even coat their own headers. No guarantees Engineered Applications will re-coat them. I won't be...

    What to paint headers with?

    Also, when I did the grill paint I taped off the collector, then emptied a spray can into all 4 tubes, taped off the tubes, and turned the headers upside down and back again multiple times. This was my way of getting some kind protection inside before I had everything assembled and I could start it.

    What to paint headers with?

    I used Rustoleum grill paint, many light coats. Took a map gas torch to them and it didn't affect the paint at all. It lasted for many years. They started to show signs of rust last year, so I had them blasted and ceramic coated locally. Showing signs of rust already. Ordered a set of TTI...

    good hedder paint

    Yep- grill paint. You can get it in black or silver. Home Depot has it as well. Auto part store paint is garbage.

    New BB left exhaust manifold from Accurate LTD

    This looks interesting. Has anyone ever used this A body Big Block exhaust manifold? I can find it here: http://mysite.verizon.net/vze8el3i/id13.html But not on their website: http://www.accurateltd.com/

    Manifold clean up

    Evaporust I think its called- it might work well on exhaust manifolds, but you may have to buy alot of it.

    Exhaust fumzes

    I had the same problem, or simlar- the car stunk of exhaust. Replaced gaskets, helped out, replaced the rear trunk seal, helped out, still the car stunk though. Changed to high octane gas- problem solved.

    '67 GTS w/exhaust tips???

    Yes it did, my bad, s/b resonator, not resonators. The 273 4 barrel came with oversized exhaust and tail-pipe resonator.

    '67 GTS w/exhaust tips???

    67 Barracuda with the 273 came with tail-pipe resonators, which is similar to what is on that GTS, except they were only chrome on the tip, see pic below. Those GTS ones look like after market 67 383 Barracuda did not have the resonator and the tips turned down. I imagine the same would have...

    before i buy

    I've seen that before Did they need a torque strap? (probably) Did the starter get fried? (hopefully not) Will it work with a 4 speed? (NO) I've heard if you replace the motor mounts that helps get the engine in the right place and helps header clearance.

    before i buy

    Any a-body header is $600 plus. Try Schumacher if you do not want to cut up your inner fenders.

    Header Wrap

    Make a heat shield for the starter and leave the headers be.
