New Exhaust System

[Meteorgirl]

Well, thought I'd get the exhaust ready for when I install the new heads. My old system was 2 inch with really small Dynomax turbos. I had the muffler shop redo the whole thing from the headers to the back. It drops to 2 1/2 just after the headers into some Summit cut-outs and then continues to the back with 2 1/4 all the way going through some Dynomax Ultraflow's. The cut-outs have 3 inch extensions and dumps on them. Why? Just because. There'll be some times at some runs that I can take off the caps and cruise around.
From the shop we went out to the highway and I popped the covers off. Hubby just sat in the passanger seat and grinned as I let it rip. Gawd that's fun. His big FE 58 Meteor has 3 inch all the way with QTP electric cut-outs but there was no room under mine and besides, they were pretty pricey. Boy am I glad spring is here.

no x pipe MG?

Kinda what I noticed too CA....H or X pipe is needed for balance and performance....It helps the bottom end torque a little too....My duals are much the same less the cut-outs. Mine are 2.5" pipe throughout with Dynomax race bullet mufflers and 3" chrome tips at the rear....I have an H pipe as well.

I had an H in there before. I didn't want to go too far back with it. Isn't it best closer up? Maybe I should've had it put in BEFORE the cut-outs. I can always go back. I looked at the pix again and it looks like there's room before the cutouts for sure.
Maybe next payday.

[STU]

I would, it will make the car sound better as well....Shouldn't cost more than $30 to get it put in.

[ca]

at least an H. i saw a couple charts where the X really helps out











stop by here MG and i'll put it in for free ;D

[STU]

Like you would get any work done with a pretty lady on the property........ ;D ;D ;D

Attended the "Devil's Run" Fri, Sat & Sun in Devil's Lake ND. Drove all weekend with the caps off my cutouts. TOO COOL. Pulled up behind a Police car at a stop sign, he looked in his mirror and then just turned off down a side street. Didn't abuse the priveledge and I don't think any of the other open header cars did either.
Great weekend, 850 cars registered by Saturday afternoon and climbing.
Yes, it was the only 62/63 Meteor there. There were about 12 other Meteors but they were between 1949 & 1969 mostly down from Canada.
