Hi all, well I started searching to find what I feel will work best for me. Looking for a kit with 2.5" pipes and an H pipe for my '67 Coupe. I like the Magnaflow SS kit but don't want to spend that much, doesn't have to be SS and I prefer the H over the X pipe for sound and ease of removal in case the trans ever has to come out. I want to go with mandrel bend and haven't found a local shop that does mandrel in house (Nashville area) so I figured I could get a kit and add my mufflers and have a shop mate them to my headers/pipes.
I've got MAC long tube headers and ~2' of header pipes made by MAC to bolt on and get me next to the trans., 333, an AOD is going in and I plan to add the non polished Magnaflow mufflers. I also want to cut my exh. turndowns to be level with my rear valence so they're kind of hidden/tucked (nonGT valence) as they were when I got the car.
Who sells a full kit w/o mufflers 2.5" w/H pipe? I see flowmaster has a muffler back kit 15807 http://flowmasterdirect.com/product.php?productid=43479, I figure that would take care of the mandrel bends part and I could just get a local shop to fab the H pipe and line it all up. Any better ideas or suggestions to get what I'm looking for? I've looked at Magnaflow, DynoMax (no classic kits offered), Thrush ($250 w/Thrush mufflers), Summit has a kit w/mufflers for $180 but no H pipe so I'd have to add it and don't know how well it fits.
I'm leaning towards the Flowmaster rear pipes, magnaflow mufflers and let the local shop mount/tweak it all to my liking, I want a nice tucked custom fit.
Thanks, Jon
