I have a 69 barracuda that I am putting on dual exhaust. The car was originally a /6 so I have to buy exhaust tips, tip hangers, etc. My dad has a set of exhaust tips from his 69 roadrunner from back in the day. My questions are..

How much different are these tips compared to an A-Body tip? (Mounting tab, dimensions, etc)
Would they work on my cuda?
Will the stock a-body exhaust tip hanger work or a custom on need be made?

I know that the B body tip is shorter than the A body (at least mid 70's Abody) . . . the tab on the top for the hanger is the same, just would need to move the hanger to correct spot for the B body tip. Also, think the B body tip is different outlet shape (oval versus square for A body) . . . I am sure that if you get the B body tips and mock them up on your car, you can figure it all out . . .

The 69 Barracuda tip is the shortest one that was made for the A-Body, so it may be the same length as the Road Runner, but definitely different end as mentioned above.


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

A-body Barracudas had the rectangular tip like Dodges generally did, didn't they? (as opposed to the '68-'70 Plymouth B oval tips). Overall lengths differ as do the hanger tab locations.
