  • exhaust clips/advice?

    I am about to install my new motor in my 1967 mustang. Nothing extreme just a bored 40 over 302 (308) with a crower cam with a 500 lift. I also have hooker long tube headers as well. I also have 40 series 2 chamber flowmaster mufflers. My questions are would you dump before the rear axle with straight pipes all the way back, or dump over the axle with straight pipes all the way back, or would you install a h or x pipe and go over the axle. Any video clips would be great and or advice of what you or a friend has done. thanks for your time.

    Your setup is very similar to what I have. I have a 302 motor bored .40 over with a comp cam (noticable lope, but not enough to hinder my A/C) and hooker long tubes to an H pipe. I have the 40 series 1 chamber flowmasters (love them!). Im dumped over the axle (just before my rear gravel shield) with straight 2.5" SS pipes back from the H pipe. I recommend H pipe for the sound, X pipe for power. I'm running 2.80 "one-whee-wonder" gears so I preferred "bark over bite". If you want to hear my car, I will be more than happy to meet you somewhere...once I fix it.

    my recommendation is obviously my set up, I prefer the sound and exhaust hitting the ground right at the rear, makes it reverberate and really turns heads once you drive past

      Since you cruise it alot, and dont have a/c, run the exhaust all the way out.
      Yeah you get fumes either way, but to cut down on it some run it all the way back. Dumped sounds good but can get old fast.(before the axle)

              ^^^^ Right here....that dumped BS gets old in a hurry unless it's just from the trailer to the staging lanes.
