nice
Terry,
You should take a look at the Sanderson Block Huggers. I fitted a pair to my '74 and while I think they would hook up to a stock exhaust system, I made up my own pipes out of 90 and 45 degree mandrel bent tubing so that the engine pipe did not run under the filter on the driver's side. It "kinks" outward so that the filter can drop straight down between the engine block and exhaust pipe. I did a similar thing on the passenger side so that the engine pipe is not sitting directly under the starter motor.
I joined them up to the standard exhaust pipe before it goes through the cross member. So far, so good. Oh, I also used Stage 8 header bolts on the Sandersons and have never had to touch them since installation. They do exactly as the company promises.
Regards from Down Under.
