TTI IS expensive but they matched the pipes to My exhaust manifolds and one couldn't ask for a better system. 3 inch are for show on a street(but who looks)...2 1/2 is plenty for Your car...BUT DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY

they show only an H pipe I think but it's fine. Pop for 3 inch makes a few more HP but is there if you pop up in Hp and or Cubic inch down the road!

I have put on TTI exhaust systems on to customer cars and they have went on good with no problems. If you don't have a lift and are planning on doing the exhaust yourself then one of the exhaust kit companys are the way to go. The last few cars that I have done I bought the Summit kits and the "X" pipe kit and put them on but you have to do a little more bending and time on them to make them look right. 2 1/2 " pipe with an "X" pipe kit is usually pleanty for the street and occasional strip use. The picture below is an exhaust kit from Summit- including there "x" PIPE
kit and attached to Dougs Headers.

A friend has 4 sets of the TTI headers for his b series BB cars.. Everyone has to be dinged to make them work... If I am going to ding a set of headers I would rather do a set that cost 250 then a set that os over 600...

I run 3 1/2 wxhaust on the Challenger.. I like it loud and in your face style..

I just sent the paper work in for the cars personalized tag that reads

I have to point out that your pipes and mufflers hang down below the floor boards. Not so good for ground clearance.

I think TTI pipes tuck up inside the drive shaft tunnel better on some models whichs keeps the pipes protected. Look at my pictures above, none of the pipes are hanging below where my sissor lift can damage them. They fit great, like everyone says.

for the cost difference the jump to 3 inch is tossing money out,plus it's alot tighter fit

I agree, 2 1/2" is plenty unless you got a large, large motor.

And your chances of ending up with a headache-inducing drone probably triple with a 3" over 2.5".

Another vote for the TTI setup.

i used their 1 7/8" headers and 2.5" X pipe system w/ dynomax mufflers on my 383. The only drilling I had to do was for the right side exhaust mount under the rear seat. I hung the whole exhaust on my back with the car on jack stands...very easy to do. I did take it to a local muffler shop so they could weld on the tips and tighten everything up. They only needed to push on one of the tailpipes a bit to line it up in the valance better. They even were very impressed with the setup.

The headers fit better than any other headers I have used. I did have issues with the #3 tube burning wires and they sent me a new left header and requested the old one back...so no issues with customer service for me.

Glad to see this thread. I am thinking of ordering the TTI system for by '65 B-body. I have to decide:

1) 2.5" or 3"? Motor is a 493, dynoed at 586 HP, 620 ft/lbs
2) H pipe or X pipe? What are the pros and cons of each?

Also, does anyone know if the US Cartool "bolt to the crossmember" driveshaft loop will work with the TTI exhaust (either H or X tube)?

RamRod-
Personally I think you are on the verge of needing a 3" system. If it's only for street or the occasional trip to SIR you might want to stay with a 2.5".
H-pipe will give you a deeper, old muscle car sound. The x-pipe will be higher pitched, but it really quieted mine down. Some also claim a little more HP with the x-pipe and a little more low end torque with an H-pipe.
No personal experience with the drive shaft loop, but I heard 2nd hand that it hits the exhaust.

I have Hedman 1-3/4 headers on my 63 now and I made the 3" system on it. I bough the universal H-pipe from summit and then bought 4 ft lenths of 3" pipe and mig welded my system up. But I am building a new eng and I just got my complete 3" X-pipe system from TTI and the 2" nickle coated headers from TTI. What a great product they sell. The 3" system looks great and everything comes with it to hook right up to the headers. So I had the money and I am glad I bought the TTI system. I paid $690 for the headers and $589 for the complete exhaust less mufflers as I will use my Ultra-Flow mufflers. Yes TTI is pricey but it is a quality system worth the money if you can afford it.

I like my TTI's. Worked great and not a single modification was required to fit. I've got 2-1/8" headers and 3" H-Pipe Setup. Even though it was pricey, it was well worth it.

NO

BB car? If you are looking for headers, try Dougs D451 for B engine, D452 for RB engines IIRC. That's still a B body...

tti has been jacking people for a LONG time on pricing IMO.

And if tti says they fit... they might not... A body 4 speed guys know what I'm talking about.

Dynonmax behind the TTI's thermal ceramic. Even in the United States of Wisconsin. Get that car on some pavement.
