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..

I really like the Ultraflow mufflers (for a bit more money).
