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



Sounds like a story the "Myth Busters" need to check out.Since the purpose of the balance tube, or equalizer pipe, is to take advantage of alternating pressure differences in each exhaust pipe, any connection between the pipes, before the mufflers works. The minimum size should be no less than 2", and should be directly across each pipe. This is covered in the Chrysler Racing Bible.Ya'll have a nice day , Dave.

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
