I've installed them on e-bodies before and they fit better than any premade system I've used.

I have 3 TTI systems the only thing to complain about is the cost. Quality and fit is good to great. The coating on my headers is failing though.
Take care, Rick 68 Coronet R/T 440 & 68 Charger 528 Hemi,and 5 Challengers! 6 cyl, 318, 360, 383, 451

I think its the best off-the-shelf system you can buy, I have the 3" on my Duster and its excellent with high quality hangers. Only way to get better would be to pay a skilled pipe bender to make one to exactly fit your car.

has anyone bought one of the TTI exhaust systems?i am looking at buying one for my 72 roadrunner with headers.notice the kit listed is for 71-74 b-bodys,all engines and tranny combos.how is the fit and ease of putting it on,any mods had to be done?also looking to cut it for the machine gun tips i have.
No one has answered this part of your question which is HUGE , those that do not have a 1971-74 B body with machine gun tips , I'm sure your replies are appreciated but your answers do not help.
I partially installed a tti system on a 72 satellite , I went by the included instructions and drilled the floor pan for the rear hangers behind the muffler wheere tti wants them, it didn't use the factory mount above the rear axle that the car originally had, I can't remember if there were dimples on the floor for the drivers side mount as I did it a few years ago.
The car didn't have tips, the owner wanted to install them but that hasn't happened yet.
And to jump on the I have tti pipes on a car that does not answer your question bandwagon ....
1969 Dodge Dart with 2.5" pipes, fit like TOTAL CRAP ... actually they didn't really fit I had to cut them up to make them fit, it would have been cheaper to do a mandrel bend pipe from scratch ...
My car has original dual exhaust and I wanted to reuse my stock tips, the pipes did NOT exit in the same place as stock AND the pipes did NOT connect to mufflers located off the stock rear muffler hangers. tti does not make a headpipe for a factory big block A body so I had to have my own made up and tti has you mount their GINORMOUS hangers off the seat belt bolts instead of the stock hanger locations ....

I’m running 3” X-pipe TTI system with tips on my 72’ RR/GTX, exhaust system fits well but as mentioned does not use some of the hangers originally used. Besides the need to add a floor mounted muffler hanger brackets as needed, the tail pipes have hanger tabs using a factory style tail pipe hanger forward of where the factory tips/hangers would locate. TTI’s repo tips don’t have hanger tabs and are designed to clamp to their “cut off” turn down tail pipes. The tips exit in the same position as the originals and will require a cut out or modified rear valance to fit perfectly. Other repo tips matching whatever pipe size tail pipe should work as well, may have to choose which hanger configuration. I’m planning to add some resonators to mine after recently going back to manifolds and will be reworking my tips and hangers to accommodate them.
What changes had to be made to the rear valance , I assume your valance was cut for tips ?

I was very pleased with the TTI 2.5" setup I bought for my Superbee and it was easy to install and fit well....and for a '70 B body, I was able to reuse all the stock hangers and my tips exited in the factory location. Dave

What car , you have a B body and 2 a bodies listed in your sig?
If it's one of the A bodies don't waste the money, it doesn't utilize ANY of the stock hanger locations.

I’m not sure how you read that into any of my posts. The OP’s question was about a 72’ b-body specifically, I have only seen/installed the TTI 3” kit for that application, and it comes with heaver duty hanging hardware than any factory stuff I’ve seen. Originally, the 72’ b-body didn’t have a muffler hanger on the passenger side as the previous years had. The weight of the passenger side factory muffler, single or dual, was carried at hanger clamped to the tail pipe above the axle. TTI kit uses a HD hanger at the rear of both mufflers. Driver’s side factory dual exhaust had an additional hanger bracket bolted to the floor. The TTI kit comes with two of these brackets, again, heaver construction than original. The same tail pipes are used with and without their tips. Again a HD hanger similar to the factory design is used to support the tail pipe, mounted in the holes forward of where a tip hanger would be located, same location for a factory non-tip tail pipe hanger.
Here's the factory muffler hanger bracket for dual exhaust driver's side;
And a TTI bracket added to support the passenger side muffler;

I am talking about my 71 roadrunner. I wasn't aware of the muffler hanger not being there on the pass. side for 72. sorry for asking dumb questions, its just big money to spend and Id rather ask first.. carry on

As stated before, fit, finish, and custmoer service is excellent. Have 1-7/8" TTI headers to 3" TTI X-pipe system to the back on '72 RR (orig. Calif exhaust, so turndowns). If you have a factory trans in there, should be a piece of cake. If it's an aftermarket trans (like mine and 72RoadRunnerGTX - namely Keisler Tremec), you might have to do some dorking around with it to make it fit the way you like.
In my case, I had to get different header collector adapters (from TTI - they make 'em for this reason, apparently) that exited the collectors at a different angle so they wouldn't pass too low under the trans/T-bar crossmember.

Hey Jim, Are you running tips or turn downs? Are those the 2” primary headers? Have you run into any ground clearance problems at the collectors or the adapter pipes? It does appear you may be running a little higher ride height than I am currently.
"Great stuff, very well made and excellent customer service."
Couldn't agree more.
Im running turn downs and yes the headers are two inch...I love the looks of the factory tips..Best tip ever made for a muscle car IMO...Your car has been an inspiration to me as I followed your build on the roadrunnernest for a long time...I have touched the collectors on pavement a few times but only after a speedbump...The shackles and wheels are long gone but here is a pic of the backside..
