    What would you do?

    As far as answering your question, probably 'B'. Now my question - are you sure that's Corvair rocker trim? My old '69 Dart had that style of rocker trim just below the doors and I know it was from the factory. My current '69 Dart did not have it, but I liked it on my old Dart so I'm adding it...

    New! And some header questions..

    Check out 180-degree headers if you want a unique sound from a V8.

    Speed Daddy Headers on Ebay?

    I don't know anything about this items quality of fit - just throwing a comment out that the eBay store location is in Rowland Heights, CA. Rowland Heights and the surrounding area has a very high Asian population percentage so I'd almost guarantee that this is an offshore knockoff.

    Embarrassing wheel base question

    Fixed - slip of the digit Funny thing is, I went to a Hotchkis (suspension) open house at their shop a couple of years ago and they had an Duster up on a lift showing off what they'd developed for them. I asked them if they were going to offer longer frame connectors for Darts and they gave me...

    MUFFLERS, what should i get?

    Hey EXcappa, you guys have some fairly restrictive laws down there in Oz. Do you have any limitations on the sound output? Just curious.

    Muffler sound

    I haven't decided on mufflers yet for my '69 Dart, but received new 3" mandrel bent exhaust system with the project from the previous owner. I got to agree with the prior comments about flowmasters. I had a dual exhaust system with flowmasters on my old '77 F250 behind the 460 and the drone...

    New Exhaust

    Maybe you need to sit down and have "the talk" with both of them. Or get out the creeper and check underneath each - maybe they both have the same "plumbing" and you're never going to get that baby demon from this pair!

    Need Advice on Exhaust

    ...and sometimes a V-8 doesn't have the typical V-8 "musclecar" sound! Back in the late 60s/early 70s there was a big-block Mopar that ran at OCIR with 180-degree headers and sounded more like an angry sports car than a big-block drag race engine. Have you ever heard a set of open 180-degree...

    Big Single exhaust?

    My '95 Ram 2500 with the V10 came with a single 3" from the factory. First thing I did when I bought it (used) was put another muffler on it since the V10s sound like sixes. The muffler shop said, "Let's put a bigger 3" pipe on it to let it breath." They didn't believe me when I told them it...

    Custom Bumper with exhaust cutouts

    I've been thinking about this since first seeing the bumpers on the new Rams. Thinking I'd like to do this on my '69 Dart but with the original factory rectangular tip design rather than round. Unfortunately, I don't have the metalworking skills to do this - just the ideas. I'm going to have...

    69 Dart exhaust manifolds on E-bay.

    Another one of those things we all wish we'd had 20/20 foresight on years ago when we just threw them away when installing headers

    Exactly. I bought mine directly from TTI at Spring Fling in Van Nuys (SoCal) several years ago.

    How durable , long lasting are the ceramic coatings on hedders ?

    Thanks for the great tip about the stainless hardware, Leanna! The reason the header mfgs. say not to use on a fresh engine is usually "do not use to break in a new engine". This is because new flat-tappet cammed engines need to run at 2500 rpm for 20 minutes to safely break-in the new cam...

    Header Wrap On Schumacher's??

    Common cause is a too-lean carb setting causing the extra heat for the 20-minute run time required to break in a flat tappet cam. You can lesson the possibility of discoloration by setting your carb up overly rich prior to cam break-in. Of course, a roller cam doesn't need the break-in time.

    Shorty Headers for the street???

    Don't know if they'll fit an A-body, but Summit lists a bunch of different 'block hugger' and 'shorty' headers to fit Mopar engines - both small block and 3rd-gen Hemi. Suggest you get on www.summitracing.com and then do a search for both "Mopar block hugger" and "Mopar shorty" and take a look...

    difference between old and new dynomax mufflers?

    Same Dynomax PN on the boxes? I'd check directly with Dynomax before I'd install them on my car. Some salesman have been known to spin things for their benefit. If I'd been the salesman, I would've made sure you got two identical mufflers for your application.

    3" exhaust w/ relocated springs ?

    Check out www.hotrodcitygarage.com. They make a similar baffled aluminum tank with a slightly better price. I saw them at Mopars At The Strip this year and they sure look like a quality piece.

    Best Place to buy TTI Products

    I'll echo what GTXperience said. Best price is found at a show they're attending. I only live a few miles from their factory but it was worth it to purchase my TTI's at either Spring Fling, Fall Fling, or MATS. Then I could just pick them up at their factory in Corona when they were ready...

    Didn't pay any shipping. Bought direct from TTI and picked up at a local show they were at.

    Can you run an engine w/o headers ?

    grassy - I believe the reason TTI says not to break-in your engine with the ceramic headers is because they will discolor with constant 2500rpm if you've got a lean carb condition creating a higher exhaust temp. Now, are you running a roller or non-roller cam in your new engine? A non-roller...

    TTI's where is best place to buy??

    Check and see if TTI is going to display at any events close to your location. I bought mine direct from TTI at Fall Fling last year since they were offering a 10% discount at the show. I previously saw them at Mopars At The Strip and at Spring Fling with the same discount. They were also at...
