I don't think what Kern Dog said was hilarious or downright silly. It was just the truth. Just like laying on the floor to work on the car, hard-riding suspension, really low car sports cars that are hard to get in and out of, going to nightclubs until 3am, certain things become less desirable...

You could just leave it there, and tell everyone your header bolt is always coming loose so you installed a quick tightening wrench to save time. But if it was me, I'd probably get a dremel with a cut off wheel and just slice it off...and buy the one with the lever to replace it.

All my ratchet wrenches have a lever to change direction. Shame yours doesn't, would have made things slightly easier.

But you accepted the exhaust that was on there until now...which was non-original. Your money, your choice.

So the transport inspectors are going around looking under people's cars and they will know that you don't have a factory system on there? Get real! I can see them now referring to the book for a 1969 Charger R/T, hmmm page 58 says the exhaust should be mild steel 2.25" with a 30° bend 6" past...

Just go to a local exhaust shop, they'll have them installed in an hour. Any half decent shop could fabricate the rest of the system for you too, in stainless steel if you wanted, probably for cheaper than you'll freight the ECS stuff over from the US. Ask them to fit your transmission mount at...

Customer wants headers for their 360. Routing is difficult. Fit a mini-starter? Borgeson steering box? Nah, just go big block...haha

Ja!

Let the games commence...

There's always a way. It may involve cutting a wrench in half that you can get on the backside, which will turn with the nut until it hits something solid and then locks against it, enabling you to get the nut off...or other ways. You have to just spend half an hour laying under there and...

Just get a local exhaust shop to fabricate something. When your not in the US (or even if you are) you need to think outside the box a little. I found a local guy here with a CNC machine who has made spacers for my disc brakes, an alternator bracket, some cones for my MTB rear axle all for...

Hmmm I guess it will be a case of suck it and see. I think I'm either going to love them or hate them - the exhaust shop are pretty good and will just plug them on a let me hear them versus the ones I have now before they are fitted on properly, but I won't know for sure until it's driving down...

Hey guys, I'm about to have a new exhaust system fitted to my 66 Satellite, 318 poly. It's going to be 2.5" from the manifolds back, and I've got some Thrush Glasspacks (the long ones, 23" I think) as the mufflers. I'm currently running some no-name turbo style mufflers and it sounds pretty good...

Not necessarily. Last year I had a leaking manifold to downpipe (blown gasket) and the stud in the manifold was rooted and needed changing. Of course it was on the driver's side with the power steering box and everything in the way. Removing the manifold from the bottom was more difficult as I...

One more thing to consider is maintenance or repairs are easier with no H or X pipe as you can drop one side of the exhaust independently of the other.

I'm having a new "manifolds back" system made up locally in stainless steel and I'm probably going to ditch the H pipe. I had it fitted about a year or so ago and it quietened it down somewhat but listening to recordings of my car idling and taking off before and after, it sounds a lot better...

Yeah, but the original question was relating to 3" exhaust behind HP manifolds, so the response was " no advantage behind HP manifolds, nor behind headers". Nothing to do with headers not being advantageous.

The H pipe will quieten it down a little, and give a more mellow tone. Mine used to "bark" more before the H pipe was installed. It's also more efficient due to the scavenging effect. I'm still torn on which sounds better though.

Just drive the car and stop worrying. As long as the exhaust hasn't got any leaks and the trunk lid is sealed well you won't get any fumes in the cabin. It's not like your driving in a fresh air bubble, there's other cars and pollution all around you. Petrol fumes aren't even that bad, it's the...

If you want to save money I would just buy the pipe from a steel supplier, (maybe they can bend it too) go with a H Pipe instead of an X Pipe as you can make the H yourself very easily, and then get some no-name straight through mufflers. Buy some decent tips as that what people see. You're...
