    Get rid of the headers, right?

    I sure wish that someone, (Any fabricators out there????) would weld up a set of stainless HP manifolds that flowed better that cast iron units but looked similar.

    In a tight spot

    I ended up buying three different sets of header bolts/studs/nuts for my Hookers because of the same thing you are going through! What a headache!

    do I have the wrong exhaust pipes on my runner.

    If your engine is stock and you are running the cast iron exhaust manifolds you don't have much of a choice. 2-1/4" is stock. I don't know of anyone that squeezes a 2-1/2" pipe in there? 304 stainless is definitely the way to go because you'll only buy it once, but you have to shop around. I...

    What's the best sealing high heat exhaust wrap to keep noise and fumes contained between two pipes meeting?

    Permatex Muffler/tailpipe sealer. $3.99 @ ACE Hardware. It's a high temp pottery clay that will seal the slip-joints. Any excess you can wipe off with a damp paper towel.

    Where are you guys buying your TTI exhaust systems?

    I just purchased a Hooker Blackheart 304 Stainless system from Mancini for around $900.00. Compared to all of the aluminized steel systems it was a steal! Quality is great and I never have to think about it again. Won't rust and is designed to fit the B Bodies tucked up nice and snug. Haven't...

    Exhaust pipe size with a 440

    The Mopar Engines manual recommends 2-1/2". Engine masters did a whole episode on exhaust system sizes on the dyno and found that 3" was optimal, but 2-1/2" was right there. So many choices!

    Cleaning Burnt Oil from Exhaust

    Easy Off oven cleaner will work, but wear goggles and do it outside! Use some steel wool or Scotch Brite to move things along. Good luck!

    Reproduction Hemi Exhaust Systems.

    I believe FlowMaster makes a Stainless System (300 series) for B bodies when you do a Gen 3 engine swap. I can't see how this system wouldn't fit perfectly with a little custom work where it hooks up to the headers/Exhaust manifolds. I'm thinking of it for my 440.

    2" tube hooker super comp headers-68 Charger

    Probably have to put the engine on the K frame with the headers on it and lower the body down over like the factory did. Not a street car I hope!

    Flex Pipe Question

    Flex pipe is like a Labyrinth seal. All of those ridges cause back pressure in the exhaust pulse and that's not good. Looks Cheesie too!

    TTI 2.5" or 3" exhaust system?

    A Hemi moves some air. Flow numbers are not what us wedge boys are used to! Look at the charts and think about what you're going to do with the car and then make a decision.

    Stainless 3" mandrel bent exhaust system...going to give it a try

    A guy named Tony answered my question from World Performance. They are 409 SS, and 16Ga., or 0.0598. Just under 1/16"

    Stainless 3" mandrel bent exhaust system...going to give it a try

    Yeah, I put salt on my fries too but I'm one of those guys that likes to buy these type of things once, Even if they cost more. Sounds like a great deal though! Only one left!

    Stainless 3" mandrel bent exhaust system...going to give it a try

    Thanks for the heads up! I read the listing and can't figure out what grade of SS it actually is. If it's 409, it's not worth dealing with because it will rust but if it's 309 or 309L it should be fine. The reason I'm stressing this is my replacement exhaust system on my Wife's Sequoia is 409...

    Bolt siezed in cast-iron manifold

    Helped a neighbor overhaul an International Club Cadet engine last summer. some of the head bolts didn't want to come loose. Had to drill two out. The hardest part was getting someone who could overbore the cylinders for new pistons. It's not a big-block chevy, so none of the local machine shops...

    Bolt siezed in cast-iron manifold

    Why does the bolt go all the way through the casting to the other side? Is it also threaded and seized? The bolt head can be drilled through the center with a 1/4" drill to let the threaded shank collapse when you heat it. This will aid in removal. Make sure you center punch the head to keep the...
