Where is the best place to put the mufflers? I��m thinking they could be squeezed in right in front of the axel? What mufflers would you recommend? The engine has a mild build up and I��m looking for a good strong rumble but not radically loud.

Do the all the pipes need to be completely custom made or is something available?

I currently have header mufflers (With the 3 bolt flange) and then pipes bent at an 80 degree angle that exit in front of the rear wheels but the mufflers are shot and I want to build a good system.

Thanks to all for the help.

Moneymaker, can you explain in more detail what the 70 style system looks like or direct me to a picture or link? Am I correct that the "H" connector is a crossover pipe? Can you please explain what the benefits are? I know the original H pipe had the crossover.

The removable tailpipes also make it easier to remove the complete exhaust system, in case you ever want to run open headers.... or need to work under the car. (this makes transmission service a breeze)

It just makes for an exhaust system that easily adjusts to 'fit your mood'.

Weld a set of those 3-bolt collector rings to the outlets of your 3" mufflers... Then buy a set of Flowmaster $99/pair mandrel bent 2.5" tailpipes and connect them to the mufflers with a set of ordinary header reducers.

This will allow each tailpipe to be removed by taking three bolts loose. Turnouts or turndowns can also be fabricated to fit in place of the tailpipes. (if you desire)

This also makes removal of the entire exhaust system easy. Once the tailpipes are taken off, the rest of the exhaust can easily be unbolted from the headers to run completely open exhaust.

Good Luck!

Using collector rings hooked to good reducers and mandrel bent tailpipes works really well... and it only takes a few minutes to remove the tailpipes if you want to hear it 'boom'.
