Side Exhaust

I am putting the AAR side exhaust on my 66 Formula S. I just finished putting Dougs headers in last week and finishing up my restoration. What I am wondering is do you really have to use the AAR type mufflers? I was just going to put the AAR ends onto short mufflers off of the headers and then use the AAR side exits.

Sorry - misread what you meant.

The issue with the AAR tips is they curve "backwards" towards the rear axle - if you try connecting them to a std pipe - how will you overcome that they curve away from your header flange?
