Much appreciated. Good to know about exhaust too.
Saw alot of threads about noise level, but wanted something out there about what to expect. I'm not mad at it, still happy, but I don't like it when things don't work as advertised.
Oh well, no big deal.

Re: County98's Learn as I Go Thread
Okay, so not my most elegant solution. Looked at bending the exhaust, but no tubing really to bend without possibly messing up sealing. Can't rotate, too far up on the bell to make any difference. Didn't want to cut the body either. My car hasn't had any bodywork done...ever. Underneath where the ex...

Re: County98's Learn as I Go Thread
I just put them in as the quieter option, out of the box. I agree on them being restrictive though.

Re: County98's Learn as I Go Thread
yes sir. The tips hit far enough forward on the bell that they're always in contact, regardless of the angled part. I'm kind of working off the assumption now that since I installed new trans and rear motor mounts, I have no "sag" yet whatsoever. I may mess around tomorrow with putting a c...

Re: County98's Learn as I Go Thread
That's an option also maybe. Just not sure why mine seems tight, equal on both sides, etc., but too tight to body. They must have sold hundreds of kits, not sure why I'm tight to body on both sides.

Re: County98's Learn as I Go Thread
Agree on the baffles. I'm doubting the glass packs will stay long, but we'll see.
Regardless, if I do custom later, I can still use the cutouts. What I'll probably do is take a bat and try to roll those openings a little, try to drop down the back of the motor slightly, or maybe both.

Ultimate Exhaust
Headers clamped up fairly well, won't know about leaks until I get her fired up though. Little finicky, would be easier with an extra set of hands. Centered tubes and slowly tightened all 3 retainers up in stages. 20ftlb, then 25, and left them all at 35ftlbs. Come with castle nuts, no washers. Clam...

Ultimate Exhaust install
Here's what comes with it. Template for cutting shrouds (which I'm leaving off for now, so skipped that), packings, baffles, collector gaskets, and hardware. Parts.jpg 140 packings are dual beveled. Packings.jpg Friction fit barely on exhaust tubes, into the exhaust tube "dishes". Tubes (2...

Clark's Ultimate Exhaust
Still haven't finished bending the fuel feed line, but had a couple hours to kill, so bolted up Clark's header kit. Not rocket science, but I really couldn't find any good pics of what to expect, so here you go. Painted last week. They come bare metal with a can of paint (Cali thing I guess). I didn...

Re: John’s 65 sedan
I just got around to re-reviewing your thread. Awesome job man. Massive amount of work and I'm jealous of your paintjob, lol. Nicely done sir.

Re: Alternator swap?
Agree with above. Not sure what you're planning to run, but that seems like overkill. I upgraded to the 63a 3 wire and still upgraded my main power feed from battery to fuse box. It should be enough to run the whole car nicely, plus accessories and an Amp for stereo. Car stereo guys talk about upgra...

I've got the same upgraded fuse box. Love it.
