IML: Imperial Exhausts........"H" pipes

Regarding the exhaust discussion,

I have something to share concerning "H" pipe installation.

Here's an old school tip I learned a long time ago.

If you go with dual exhausts and you want to find the "correct" placement for the H-pipe,

install the duals all the way back to the rear bumper, then get a tire crayon and stripe a line along one of the exhaust pipes from about the center of the transmission, rearward to about 2 feet past the rear of the tranny.

Start the engine and let the motor idle until you see a spot on the tire crayon line start to melt.

That's where you want to place the "H" pipe.

It's a little extra work, but as least you'll know you've got the "H" in the correct place.

Hi Brian:

I had the exhaust system redone on my 1963 Imperial at an old place in Burbank a few months ago and they did a beautiful job. I had everything from the bottom of the engine back done (aluminized piping, muffler, resonator) for around $350.

It's a place that's been there for years and years and deals with a lot of old cars. Their contact info is below.

Good luck,

I live in the Los Angeles area and need to find a muffler and resonator for one of my 67 Imperials.

I do not want to end up with the low quality stuff that most muffler places now have.

Any suggestions of where to find quality exhaust parts?

Thanks
