exhaust troubles on 66 barracuda

How about a picture of your adapter? It can be rotated however much you need to; it's not indexed to a certain spot. If there is indeed no room to run a pipe past it, then it has to be angled wrong. Or else your muffler guy don't know s----.

Here's my 67 Barracuda. Best picture of the adapter I have sitting round. There's no one exact right spot, but it should look generally like this.

Hey thanks, I have mine pointed towards the front. I will drive it around this weekend to put some miles on it so when I rotate it I can dump the break in oil. hopefully without getting a ticket for no exhaust. haha Thanks again, I think I will take it to a different shop too.
