On my stepdads 67 wagon, the exhaust is original. Single exhaust. It comes straight out below the bumper. Does not go sideways. On his 73 wagon, the exhaust is custom made. It's 2 and a half inch with "H" pipe. I can get a pic this spring and post it.

I've got a 72 Custom Suburban and I am getting fumes with the rear window up... my (single) tailpipe comes out at the rear corner just before the bumper and angled down... because I had the rear window up I didn't consider the exhaust position as the culprit.. I did a visual on the motor when idling and see/hear no exhaust leaks...I inspected the tubes and the muffler but looks/sounds good. Pretty sure it's exhaust fumes... I know all my door and window seals are crumby so I want to try the brown "D" strips... have any pics of that? Or more info on what those strips are? I love the wagon but driving it is a bummer with the fumes...

I have a similar situation but I seem to notice it more when the A/C vents are open and blowing air. I'm thinking about adding an extended tip to the side exit tailpipe...

so yours is already pointed to the side? How far and is it turned down?

The link and photo below of an NOS MOPAR Station Wagon Tailpipe shows what mother MOPAR put on these cars.

Note the angle of the aft end and the baloney cut on the tip to direct the exhaust downward.

Hi Mbar - this is the stuff I used:

So cheap, it’s worth a go on yours I reckon. Hope this helps.

Great! Any pics of your wagon where you applied it? Thanks

The tailpipe has the 45 degree bend and turndown tip like FuryGT's pic. I don't have a great photo but these may help...

Hope these pics help - purists will hate me, but hell its a quick, cheap & easily reversed solution! I only get fumes now if I have the windows open due to wind swirl from my lake side pipes.

This is under the tailgate flap:

... and so is this:

Very nice..thank you for the pics ... I don't think it looks bad. In your case the brown kind of blends with your body color... mine is light blue but I'd rather be able to enjoy the drive than worry about purity for now.... I'll be giving it a try

My Formal's pipes...by the way the deflector was never meant to deal with fumes...it was to prevent dust from accumulating on the tailgate glass and impeding rear vision.

so the application book states a 2856 360 with a 2bbl 383, single exhaust straight back for station wagons, but my recollection is turned to the right side under the spare tire well on the passenger side, like everyone has done. Much like the one pictureday in the eBay ad, which is the 2856 005 , for dual exhaust. would this work for the 2bbl 383

Sorry I'm just now posting this picture. The exhaust on this, along with all of the exhaust on the other cars we've got is custom made by Roadrunner Muffler Shop in Springfield Massachusetts. His business is called Roadrunner, but the guy is into Firebirds. The guy does great work and the cars have a nice rumble to em. The guy is pretty cheap in price too.

My 70 Plymouth, 383/727/8.75. Installed the 3" TTI exhaust in my buddy's driveway on four jackstands. I cut the tubes so the tips are an inch or so behind the bumper. If I start to smell fumes, it just means a sparkplug wire came off...
