[Tigers] Wondering About Tiger Exhaust now...

[Larry Mayfield]

Ok, so I think I have the oil system figured out and have installed new
parts. Still have to do a bit of finalizing on install, like tightening up
the header bolts, Putting the header tank and all hoses back on and
refilling the antifreeze.  But, when under the car a while back I noticed
that my old cheapie mufflers are rusting out. So, I have a basic stock 260
in this car and was wondering what you folk are using for mufflers these
days. For a box stock 260. Small exhaust pipes and all.  How about X pipes
as well- anybody have something like that installed?  I do have the original
style headers on the car.  How easy to fit larger exhaust pipes through the
frame etc?  Any discussion on exhaust systems? Might be a few noobs on the
list now that could be interested as well. Just to keep the list chatter
alive.  Photos are good!! 

 

By the way, I purchased some Aeroquip ¾-16t inverted hose fittings to be the
starting point of new oil filter hoses.  I also acquired the required for
those fittings the PTFE hose in -8 size. A Deraille oil filter remote mount
and went at it. Wow, what a giant pain in the butt! Those hoses and fittings
and difficult at best. Plus if you miss clock them then you may need to
start over as the hose ends do not rotate! Have to get it right the first
time. I have designed a new block adapter and have the metal to machine it
and the center attaching piece and will get after that in a few days. It
will be less than 1 inch thick, have no center inverted flare fitting
anywhere. Will use -8 AN steel flare fittings as well. No I am not in the
machine shop business, but, when the prototype is finished and working, I
will share the drawings with all.
