1969 Dart Pro touring daily driver **Crashed**
The new exhaust is shown below, the old one did not have a crossover section and was a little damaged from a drifting incident a few summers ago, along with this I wanted bigger mufflers so it would be possible talk (not shout) to other passengers at highway speeds and the neighbors wouldn't hate me.
The exhaust is 2.5 in and has flowmaster 50 series delta flow mufflers. The old absorptive mufflers are still in place but the plan is to remove them depending on how quiet it becomes and after i do some research to make sure it is a good idea, you never know if an expansion like that at the end might be beneficial or add no resistance to flow at all.
As you can see the X/H-pipe position is not ideal and it might have been better to put the cutouts right after to collectors, however its easy to be captain hindsight and in any case I will probably swap the engine within 5-7 years to its "sort" of temporary. I hung the exhaust with these rubber things which hold it pretty firm so the flex pipes will be working to take all engine moment.
When making the car so much quieter (one of the milder flowmaster mufflers) I decided to bite the bullet and buy electric cutouts. These are from QTP and can be opened just partially or any amount so the idea is that you can adjust the volume of the car. The black switch to the right of the wiper switch is where you do this.
