    Get rid of the headers, right?

    I'm probably in the minority here, but I prefer stock exhaust manifold. If you follow Nick's Garage on YouTube he'll give you his opinions on staying stock exhaust manifold and I tend to agree.

    1969 HP exhaust leak

    I'll second the remflex.

    '66 Charger 361ci - affordable dual exhaust solution?

    I learned many years ago that exhaust is one thing left to the shops; both price and quality is generally better at a exhaust shop. Find a Mom and Pop exhaust shop that does just that.....exhaust. They will get you a good system at a great price. My local guy even gives a big discount for CASH.

    X or H pipe?

    I think X is more flow efficient, but to me H sounds the best.

    Anyone Added a Catalytic Converter to 71-74 Dodge Charger?

    Also, keep in mind if the converter can't be efficient in catalyst action you will end up with a rotten egg smell.

    Anyone Added a Catalytic Converter to 71-74 Dodge Charger?

    I think the time and money here would be better spent on a EFI conversion. You will always run stoichiometric and fumes will be almost eliminated.

    Found the source of my bottom side noise.

    I've had flowmaster baffles fail twice. On advice of my exhaust shop I went with cheapo summit racing knockoffs. So far I'm happy.

    Glass packs as resonators

    My dad did this, but the glass pack was right before the tailpipe. In other words downstream from the mufflers.

    Exhaust Manifold Collector Gasket- which side up?

    I second the ultra copper. I used felpro gaskets that were symmetrical.

    Exhaust Manifold gasket job 3838

    Yep I've got a 383 and am in the minority of preference of exhaust manifolds over headers. I used felpro flange gaskets with a generous bead of ultra copper. One of my manifolds is flat and the other was slightly warped. The remflex sealed great. Don't over torque.

    HP exhaust manifold verses Header comparison

    Been watching and reading and really didn't want to join the debate, but can't resist. My own experience with two different big block MOPARs was the headers always leaked. Now I will admit that was before I discovered REMFLEX gaskets, but those days of always fighting exhaust leaks turned me...

    who makes the best exhaust manifold gasket

    Remflex is brittle material.

    Mancin headers came one bigblock one smallblock

    I do some business with mancini. I have learned that you must call them to get any customer service as they never answer email. I also unpack and check every order from any vendor the day received. Learned that painful lesson with InLine tube. Sorry this happened to you.

    Molasses Bath Trial

    This month's edition of musclecar review magazine has a tech tip for using molasses to remove rust. I believe they mixed the molasses with boiling water.

    Exhaust Manifold gasket job 3838

    I was amazed at how great these remflex gaskets worked! I really like they way they seal. The manifold crushes the gasket oh so slightly and seals easily. What a fantastic product. I started the car after the job was completed and just loved the sound of a leak free exhaust. Thanks for all of...

    Exhaust Manifold gasket job 3838

    So, looking for some tips on torque for these remflex gaskets with my stock exhaust manifolds. Remflex states 20 ft lbs which is straightforward, yet I can't get a torque wrench between the shock tower and two of the nuts on the passenger side. I assume you just 'hand tighten until it's tight'...

    Doughnuts between pipe and collector

    Fellow Mopar guys came over while I was wrenching yesterday. One of them recommended copper RTV on the collector gaskets. Never used the stuff before. Any opinions?

    Exhaust Manifold stud

    I chased the stud with lots of Liquid Wrench and a 3/8-24 really old Craftsman die. The threads actually look really good except near the middle of the stud. Maybe one turn that looks a little weak. Fellow Mopar guys stopped by yesterday and said keep as is as the sleeve nut tightens. Thanks...
