Re: IML: new exhaust system & theory



Dan, the log style manifolds would be fine. The pipe to the mufflers(21/4") is plenty, the tail-pipes also 21/4", for mufflers I liked the stock 440 RoadRunner type, also 21/4" in and out. You can add the H pipe, for a little HP, and Torque gain. I used the Walker 21848 muffler, but they also show a ULTA FLOW SS 17287 as well. I used this system on my 67 Crown,69 T&C Wagon, 77 Gran Fury Cop. 78 NYB, turn your head, and you thought it was a RR.All sounded nice outside, windows-up air on, couldn't tell inside. Ya'll have a nice day, Dave.
