1966 Dodge Dart
Valiant69er, thanks for those pics. Yes that will help when I finally get around to getting the brake done.
I havent had but one night to work one the dart since I moved it down to dads. But on Tuesday night I was able to spend some time and I got the Collectors on the headers then I installed the TTI x-pipe into place. I put on my mufflers that I had bought on ebay ($15 each). They were very small, the body was only 5" long and 9" wide. The inlet and outlet are both offset and there is one piece of baffle inside. I started it up and there was very little difference in the sound at all. Still sounded like the headers were open. So I came home and ordered a set of flowmaster 40's. I had them on my stoked 383 vette and really liked them so I am hoping they sound as good on this stroked 408. They came on Saturday and I hope to get them on tomorrow night to see how they will sound. I will say that the Dart was extremely louder with open headers then my vette was so I am a little nervous.
Ive made some hangers for the mufflers since the ones from TTI for 3" are $75 a pair.
The clamps were part of the TTI x-pipe kit and the hangers are from NAPA @ $3.70 each. I still need to put tops on each one but that is just metal that I have laying around so hopefully no more costs will be added. The next challenge will be to add a tailpipe system. I did some playing around and I think I can make something work but it will take time. I'll get some pics out as I move forward.
