You shouldn't have needed to expand the slip joints any. Start in the back and follow the directions. I've installed 2 complete systems, I only had to trim the rear of the headpipes about an inch on my 69 R/T. The system on my Patrol car in my avatar fit without any cutting..

Side exhaust sound like crap in my book. I had a friend that had a 69 Corvette, 427 with factory side pipes, it sounded like ****! A good example is-stand behind 2 Dodge Vipers, one with the side exhaust and one with the rear exit pipes. The side exhaust always sounds like an old John Deere 2...

Bite the bullet, and get TTI's. Fenderwell headers suck!

If I remember right, the manifold will work. But your pipe bender will have some choice words for you, The outlet comes real close to the steering shaft or coupler-I don't remember. Someone on here surely has the hardware you need.

Don't pay 340 prices for the 3418623 manifold. C bodies used that manifold from 71-73 on the 360's. Fairly plentiful.

TTI turndowns look the nicest in my book.

I have 2 TTI exhaust systems on my cars, one on a C body and the other on my 69 Coronet R/T. Both from manifolds-back. Yes, they are high priced but I feel they are well worth the money. They fit fantastic, tuck under the car so nice that you can't hardly see them from the side. They sound...

Just adding to the above post. I just looked at the Sweet website and it states that their steering universal joints can be used on virtually any OFF-ROAD steering application. I would say NOT for street use. And the one listed above-a Chinese knock-off for sure NOT. Remember, your life and...

Nice write up! Just a little food for thought. Those Sweet steering joints are racing joints and are not near as beefy as the Borgeson or Flaming River joints. The first time I saw one of those Sweet U joints, a friend was into stock cars and was using them. I made a comment at the time how...

Years ago, a friend of mine put a big block in a 1958 Chevy. The exhaust manifolds wouldn't fit, so he went with Sanderson engine swap headers. They looked like they were made well but their tubes were small-1 1/2". I've always remembered that and usually when I see Sandersons, their tubes...

They have adapters for a few of the top headers with their systems. In my opinion, they are well worth the money. I have two cars with them on. my 69 Coronet R/T and my 71 Polara patrol car. Both from exhaust manifolds-back. Both of my setups fit very nice, tuck up under the car. I will buy...

Make sure you run a deep sump oil pan also, then you can smash 2 things at once when you hit a speed bump, railroad tracks or that dip in the road that you did not know was there! Although I live in Nebraska where the roads are far from perfect, or best of all- that big raccoon that you hit...

They sound like CRAP!

Try to find someplace where 2 Vipers are together, one with side exhaust and the other with rear exhaust, and you be your own judge. I had a friend that had a late 60's Corvette with a 427 and the factory side exhaust. It sounded like ****! I had friends back when we were younger that dumped...

They sound like CRAP!!!!

Side exhaust kind of sound like an old John Deere 2 cylinder tractor. I agree that the Vipers and Corvettes with side exhaust sound like CRAP! Hope you don't have a nice stereo, because you won't be able to hear much of it anyway. Make sure you have a big box of earplugs-you'll need them...

If you use Hooker Headers on your smallblock A Body, make sure you slow wayyyyy down for every bump and pothole and beer can on the road! Or the bottem tubes will be flat as pancakes in no time! I found that out 20 yrs. ago.
