    Installing headers -- While engine pulled or after re-installed?

    I have pulled the engine/trans together always over the many cars and decade. Just me. Radiator out of my way. I have never had a leveler but I have done many by myself with a 1000 hoist hooked to the rafter in the shed. Yes harder to do by yourself with trans attached, but it an be done.

    1971 Duster exhaust smell in cabin after new muffler and tail pipe

    I guess we are knit picking but I too, rather the exhaust blow clear from the bumper. Sometimes bumpers are new and shiny and costs $600 or so!!! I admit it is a lot better and body plugs are always a good thing!!

    1971 Duster exhaust smell in cabin after new muffler and tail pipe

    Like said, pipe should be a little longer and YOU do not need holes in the floor especially with the pipe where it is. I bet you paid the guy enough to have done it right!

    Is This Exhaust Manifold Repairable?

    There are even some high tech specialty rods and like said^^ pre heat and cool down, they even make a special blanket for such.

    What's a good coating for exhaust manifolds???

    I bet VHT costs pennies on the dollar vs the other stuff mentioned. BY the way, factory painted them over spray with engine paint I believe. They weren't too particular!

    side exit exhaust

    That is the affordable way, but the AAR style places the muf. from under that "hot" seat!! I bet if someone does not want the heat, build a heat shield like as used above the cat convertors in the Malaise cars when those started!

    side exit exhaust

    Yes that is the TA style muf. A repop clamp holds it at the rear of mf. Good tips can be fond without paying the $ for repop TA tips!

    side exit exhaust

    he AAR cuda of 1970 hd mufs that the pipes came in and out the front side, then had a curved pipe that went to the tip. There are repops of this muf that are expensive but generic types came be found decent cheap like from Summit. The generic tips can be found without going to Feebay for crap...

    side exit exhaust

    I never did spend the $ for the side exhaust. I took what was already on the Volare RR and cut and added turn downs after the rear axle. It will get the rest of body work/paint then I will do the side exhaust.. I had several TA/AAR cars and I am familiar with their exhaust. The E body...

    side exit exhaust

    I think those Dynamax would be good enough, cheap enough, and yes I can fab the hangers to hold up the rear of the mufflers and the hangers for the tips! I am just about finished fabbing and welding the rear lower qtr. patches and other smaller spots on this odd ball 76 runner!. These F bodies...

    side exit exhaust

    You are no doubt correct, I had 5-6 AAR cudas and TA Challengers back in the 80-s early 90's. Neat cars for SB cars. I always loved them I have had the notion of a side exit exh system for other models for years. This F body runner in NOT any real collectable car, so making this hotrod...

    side exit exhaust

    I was looking at Jeg's cat. this morning, WOW! the price of mandrel bent 90 ad 180 degree 2 /1/2 in pipe. I have access to a local exh shop but like most of them, he can not do a mandrel bend. No doubt this needs to not be pinched in those hard turns. Most F body guys will be the as tank...

    side exit exhaust

    TA tips are 2 1/2 in and 3 1/2 in out, cut at 45 degree. Dales Cuda Shop has been repopng then for decades. High quality stainless. Maybe I can get just the tip with the curves pipe. Nice stuff but priced for the $50,000 TA and ARR E body cars! What was on the car when I got it, was...

    side exit exhaust

    I like your method, I want the mufflers not under the front seats and I don't want to invest a fortune in the reverse flow mufflers ($250) and the excellent AAR tips ( $275) for a 76 Volare 318 Roadrunner! Not sure where to find affordable of good tips. Looking at feebay, the descriptions...

    side exit exhaust

    Mention AAR cuda, TA challenger and the $$$$$$ flash, no matter accurate, year one, Dales cuda shop has been repoping th correct tips for decades. Other look alike without the thing inside a little cheaper. Stainless mufflers can be found a little cheaper than the OEM style aluminized...

    side exit exhaust

    Back in the 80s early 90s I restored a few TAs and AARs. The reverse flow mufflers, hangs, tips were repoped even back then. I think Dale's Cuda Shop did the initial repop and stills carries it all. I have a couple of F bodies, that are Volares that I want to do the side exhaust on...

    1972 Scamp exhaust ideas

    Good local shop is wayyyyy cheaper. But many times they cannot mandrel bend, BUT unless you are high HP it is a moot deal anyway.

    stock slant super six muffler?

    I read the super six was 2 1/4 pipes, but this car has pretty good pipes now that are the 1.8 size, for now I will just get it on the road with a 2 1/4 muffler and reuse the existing pipes..... when I will eventually redo the whole exh...

    stock slant super six muffler?

    the X's jeep had the good convertor true. this muffler is going on a 79 super six Volare with a convertor that the case is good but the guts are gone! so it does little to quiet it down no doubt.
