    insstalled susmmit's exhaust on my 67 GT - holy cow

    heh sorry all - i ended up being a moron and put the damn pipe too close to the gas tank. now the tank has 3 holes due to the pipes heating it and then bashing it on out crappy roads. so now i need to pull the tank and get it sealed. ugh. anyway i used the stock 210$ kit from summit. no...

    insstalled susmmit's exhaust on my 67 GT - holy cow

    what a difference!! with my brother in law's help and a new air compressor and impact wrench, took just over 2 hours to install the complete setup from summit. with shipping etc the total cost was about 250 for the kit. may be a bit subdued sound for some folks but i wanted to get quieter...

    fixed creaking sound by wrecking exhaust - now need a new one

    thanks Dan - are those summit kits fairly straight to bolt -in or do you assume that they are "just the basics" and a lot of fab will need to be done? I ask because if i am just paying for the mufflers and the rest will need to be fabbed, i may just buy the pieces seperately. if the kit gets...

    fixed creaking sound by wrecking exhaust - now need a new one

    well as some of you may recall my 67 dart had a "creaking" sound anytime i hit a bump. well turned out part of the issue was a loose caliper on the drivers wheel. well i was still getting a weird creaking/grinding sound from the drivers side when i hit a bump and it freaked me out. i didnt...

    Cheap headers, and power steering?

    sorry - just realized i had been asked a question and never responded. Poppa - all i can say is it took me a while, lots of sweat and some cursing but i did it. 1 - loosen engine mount bolts and jack up engine as far as you can 2 - make sure headers are lined up properly and then pull...

    piece of crap headers - i give up

    thanks all to be honest i cant put all the blame on the headers. if i had paid more attention to the destructions, it may have only taken me 6 hours instead of 7. actually most of the problems were because i only have 2 hands, am working on an uneven and uncomfy driveway, and i've never...

    Cheap headers, and power steering?

    i cant say it's a universal thing but i know getting my headers off the 318 was a major pain in the neck. had to remove the starter, the power steering box and part of the steering linkage. i re-read the manual and the instructions from summit and evidently this is common practice. hope that...

    Help, my exhaust is killing me.

    i am also getting this same issue in my /6. i walked in to work today and it's as if i was just sleeping in a closed tent of exhaust fumes. i stink. i looked underneath and the exhaust pipe only extends about 3 inches off the muffler so that is an easy fix. i'll try that and see if it fixes...
