@theARMONexchange - You'll definitely get better flow with some headers. I'd recommend getting a gas welder... you save a lot of money in labor costs. In the future, hopefully, I plan to make a side exhaust. If it's too loud, I can always switch back and forth.

@hivewax its actually in the muffler itself. i'm tempted to the the side exhaust, but im afraid it will make it too loud inside the interior of the car.

@theARMONexchange - Have you thought about side exit exhaust?

You can fix holes in the exhaust by just welding in new exhaust pipe; cut and fit... save some coin in these hard economic times. I recommend talking to your dad about it again.

@hivewax lol looks like im going with the x pipe. i'd do the welding myself but the old man won't let me get a welder haha. i heard the stock manifolds work best as either paper weights or boat anchor lol. one of the 5+ owners installed the current exhaust system which sounds like a pissed off tractor at idle, and the hole in it doesn't help. time for a new exhaust whoopie

@theARMONexchange - Yes... stock length 9" Moser housing and Detroit Locker TrueTrac differential w/3.50:1 gear ratio in a Strange alum center section. Original 8" had 3.00:1.

I'm currently doing some welding, body aligning, and rust removal.

I've read you get more HP from X-pipe. H-pipe gives you that classic sound.

@hivewax wow thats sweet. what did you replace the rear with? 9 inch? oh and thank you:D its actually looks better now that i repainted the block. i'm putting on headers and im thinking of putting on glass packs. still not sure if im going with an x or h pipe.

@theARMONexchange - Thanks.

It's a GT A-code. I upgraded the wheels, rear-end, and suspension since breaking the 8" pinion yoke. You should see the video of open headers!

I see you have a '66 with a nice clean engine bay!

[theARMONexchange]
