73 302 4speed deluxe int air
I have a 73 mach1 with a 302, 4 speed,power steering, air cond and factory single exhaust system. I cannot find headers that will fit with 4 spd and power steering. I would not be opposed to keeping the stock exhaust manifolds but the never made an H-pipe for 1973 302 dual exhaust. All ideas considered Thanks

 
They never offered duals on a 302, so that is why you cannot find a stock H-pipe.

They also never offered the 4-speed on a 302 ( or a 351 2-V)...only the 3- speed.

You definitely will have to get a custom exhaust. No big deal...a good shop can fix you up.

You could use 289 hipo headers and factory h pipe from a pre 68 Mustang. The under floor sections are so similar that you probably could install a whole 66 dual system.

 
I used Tri-Y headers(El-Cheapo Stainless from Ebay) on mine and I had to grind a chunk out of the bellhousing for them to seat properly. I have the large bell housing on my 302. I got a 2" universal H-Pipe from CJ Pony for 64-73 Mustangs and ran custom exhaust from that point.

Works great for me cleared the power steering and the Z-bar clutch no problems. Pics are in the thread below from when I did mine. Also I have much more ground clearance than I did with the long tubes they replaced.

I am using doug shorty headers, however i have a FMX w/power steering. I had my exhaust custom made with 2.5" piping and h pipe with delta flow 40's for under $500 and it gives it such a good sound
