Well, I finished the exhaust and man, it sounds great! We did a 3 inch pipe all the way back with hi flow cats and straight Summit bullet glass packs.

Here are some pix of the fun.... And a few more.

I wasn't as hard as I expected to be, just time consuming.

You Sir are a better man then I
Flat-backing an erector set exhaust system is not something I'd ever do. With a lift and stands I'd try it but... The pre-bent TTI was more then enough for me!

Looks good!

BTW, How much time did that car spend in Riverside/San Bernardino CA? 96.7 KCAL Rocks!

Great job anmracing. That's what I intend to do for my Jensen, I'm going 3" through the back with an X pipe.

I made my Coupe exhaust, I even made the headers and the X pipe. It turned out well and I got exactly what I wanted, clearances, placement, etc etc

Headers before



Headers after




Exhaust before



Exhaust after





I made my tailpipes including tips, but they aren't ceramic coated yet......

For some reason I can't go to my local auto parts store and buy a 3 1/2" mandrel bent X pipe exhaust for a 69 GTX that has a fuel pump mounted on the right frame rail, so I kinda had no choice but to put one together



It may not be a work of art but I'm pretty happy with it.

Here's a link to pics

I made a good bit of mine. I don't have a welder, so I was at a friend's house using his. I forgot to bring my camera too, so I used his wife's. I had it in the wrong mode and made movies instead of pictures, so I'm kind of left with nothing. .... hmmm, maybe I shouldn't be such a mooch......

Whenever possible we do our own systems unless it's a stocker. At that rate it's easier to buy a kit or at least the tail pipes. There are so many possibilities for clearance issues with a modified car I never even considered using a kit.

your mileage may vary!

Man, there are some good pix of home made exhaust. I'm sure glad I didn't have to make the headers. I did have to make a spacer due to the starter but that was it for header fab for me....

I love working on my MOPAR but I love driving it even more!!!!!

Riverside back in 1990-91. Just in time for the big quake, floods and riots.....

We used to tear it up in the industrial parks back then. Young and stupid. Never occured to us that the leo could take away the car for racing back then.....

Here's a link of what we've done to the car since last year. Still trying to figure out what color to paint her.
