Got all the stock exhaust off . Got both tail pipes & mufflers mounted. Looks like the new system might work out good as the center pipes & collector connectors both have 45 degree ells on them.
Got the center pipes in & the 45's turned toward the down pipes. Had to go pick up a piece of 2 1/4" pipe to get the driver side ell out of the center a little further. While I was there I found 2 catalyic convertor flex connectors that fit my 2" down pipes. Purchased them along with a couple of 2 x 2 1/4" reducers.
When I got home I finished the passenger side complete. I hope the flex connectors let the engine move while the pipes are stationary and not moveing around banging againt things.

Had my son in law come down Friday and help on the dual exhaust. Started by rehanging the passenger side . Had to cut the tail pipe in 3 places over the axle because it was bent wrong.
Got it welded back & finished up with hanging the front pipe. Rehung the driver side muffler & the tail pipe fit pretty much like it should. Got the front pipe thru the center with the 45 ell aimed toward the downpipe. Getting the pipe connected into the flex was was a major undertaking . But it went & after putting a hanger on the front pipe 45 at the cross member we called it done.
I had thought it was going to be too loud when I fired it with the 1 side connected but after finishing both sides & fireing it up I got to say I like it a lot , it sounds a lot like a small block Ford & not like a six.
Took it for a test drive Fri evening & when I turned around at the church and pulled back on the road I pulled it in low & floored it . 50 in low ,good crisp shift into second about 70 then into drive the shift about normal.
This is looking at my speedo , could'nt look at the Holley monitor to check the RPM's because I was watching the road. I got to say it was pulling pretty hard all the way into drive & still pulling. Looking forward to the cam & head install.
I did'nt get any pictures because it was a long day. When I get a chance I'll pull it on the ramps & take a few & post them.
