Can anyone post pics of 2.5 or 3 inch dual exhaust on a 69 convertible? I have read previous posts and it looks like shimming the x-brace is the answer but it still looks like a tight fit. The local muffler shop said I can probably forget the x-brace since I tied the frame, replaced all bushings with poly and installed a 6 point cage. I would still like to keep the brace if possible. Thanks in advance.

pwoolford,
Here are some pics of my 69 vert with a good detail of the xbrace. The exhaust system is the Flowmaster American Thunder system and it fit with very minor tweaking. http://homepage.mac.com/bspears/PhotoAlbum14.html good luck with your project cheers bob spears ------------------ 69mscle |

Nice pics, Bob. What type of hangers are bolted to the rear floor?

bob,
Thanks for the pics! Now I don't know whether to order an American Thunder system or take the car (and picture of yours) to my local exhaust shop. ------------------ 69 convertible, 500hp 350, TKO 5-speed, Moser 12 bolt - 3.73, many parts still in boxes... |

BBCamaro,
This car will be mostly street. I'll probably take it to the track a couple times just for fun but I want to build a tubbed hard top big block next...that should satisfy my need for speed. I should have the 6 point done in about two weeks. I'll post pics then. ------------------ 69 convertible, 500hp 350, TKO 5-speed, Moser 12 bolt - 3.73, many parts still in boxes... |
