As they say in England that's highly decent of you old chap to give the exhaust away wot wot .:yourock:
Here's the install from back to front:
Hanger above rear axle
The hanger for the drivers side doesn't look quite right
I had to bend it before and after bolting it in to make it work
Other side was fine. These rubber isolators suck to get on! But they won't be going anywhere anytime soon. Yes I lubed them.
The hangers for the back of the tail pipe. The bracket required I drill through my frame rails, as the gas tank was in the way. The spring shackles didn't make it any easier.

Mufflers had dents in both inlet connections and one outlet. Bent it to round with my crescent wrench.
Then the H-pipe assembly.
I still have to put the header extensions on and align the system, clean the headers of grease and a couple other things under the hood, then fire it up and take it for a spin!
I haven't put the turndowns on yet. If I do I'll have to cut the tailpipes down a few inches. I'll see if I get around to it.
Overall I like the kit. It sucks I had to drill the holes in my frame, but I wasn't taking the car apart so it is what it is.
A lift would have been a blessing, but I'm used to laying way to. Lose to the bottom of my car. Another set of hands would have been helpful, but that would have been really weird under the car!
Between work, woman, and weather plus my own putzing around, it took me a little bit longer than in was hoping, but at least the salt is off the roads so I don't have to wait for anything, but me!

You're going to upload a recording of how it sounds, right?
That's the plan.
Need to cut the H-pipe down a couple inches. I sure like working in dimly lit conditions! At least I don't have any time constraints...
It's all under the car! Had to cut 2" off each side of the back of the H-pipe as stated, then had to expand the front of the drivers side of H-pipe, it must have been made right before lunch as it was just tight enough to not work. Then I had to use the old rubber mallet to get the header adapters fully seated, and aligned to the headers. Once that was done, I had to grind a little off of a nut so it would go over the hole and engage the bolt.
The bolts and nuts have just enough room to work with, other than that one, definitely not roomy with the adapters.
The tight side. Not round either.
That is all tightened up, just have to do the back of the mufflers and adjust the rear pipes and shim up my bolts back there. The tail of the car is sticking out the garage doorand it's raining, so I get to slide under the axle! I'll have it running by tonight, I'm in no hurry (if you couldn't tell by reading this thread) so hopefully the rain ends soon. I'll check over little things if it doesn't.

All tight all the way.
Everyone loves spacers!
I accidentally hit the gas tank seam with the drill when I was making holes for the tailpipe bracket, which actually worked fine since the bolt had to go right where I drilled!
Now to hear how it sounds!

Good job.
Took it out for a drive, that's weird hearing it come out the back of the car. Don't need to scream to have a conversation (although I drove alone!).
It's not a bad tone, but I think I'm gonna pick up a set of Flowmasters down the road. Maybe the Dynomax Super Turbos will grow on me. I'll try to upload a video. Might have to do the YouTube link.
After I got back, it started sleeting. Only in Minnesota. I'm still taking it to work tonight.

I'll do that tomorrow. I wasn't even looking at the screen when I filmed it. Hard to tell, right?

I was just commenting on my Steven Spielberg filming skills.
Between being busy with work and house work, I managed to get the turn down tips on my car. I think they look ok. Here's a before pic.
And some after pics.

I'm doing an install on my '65 Monaco right now.. How did you get the holes drilled for the tail pipe hangers? Did you have to drop the spring shackles?? I can't seem to find a way to get a drill up in there to make a straight hole through the frame? Thx
Have you ever had one of those cut-outs stick open? Happened to a friend of mine and his '62 Max Wedge clone. He drove it to Van Nuys from Bakersfield to attend a Fling. While showing off the car at the show he opened them up. When he went to drive home, one would not close!! He drove all the way back to the Bake with both open - why only have one open? Yes, he was pulled over.
Ended up having to buy a new one; the other just completely failed.Similar threads
