Over the weekend my buddy Frank finished the new exhaust. It's basically a 2,1/4 inch stock one for the 351C but as I have a Windsor in it, it had to be adapted.
The headers are shorties from Hedman that are designed for use in 71-73s with an swapped 351W.
Thanks to the guys who pointed me to them in my thread!
The h-pipe ist the stock replacement one that had to undergo major surgery to make it fit with the headers.
The mufflers are Edelbrock RPMs that we took from the old exhaust, as I wanted to keep them. They provide maximum flow and sound great.
Although it went from long tube to shorty headers it is much louder than it used to be. The old one was 2 inch diameter, it's funny how much of a difference a 1/4 inch makes. (I am still talking exhaust here, guys!
)
We dropped the Mach1 exhaust tips that the car used to have for simple 20 degree turn downs.
I never liked the look of the tips as the rear valance has no cutouts. Plus this allowed us to keep the tailpipes higher, which is good, given the amount of lowering the car has undergone.
I love how it looks like it just came from the factory, unlike the straight tubes that used to run under the floorpans.
Ground clearance is also restored, no part of the exhaust is lower than the transmission.
By the way we also changed the healights to relays. Much better!
And here are the usual pics to show that it happened.
