Warning: TTI Exhaust with A/T, Console, Manifolds ('65 Abody).

Another one step forward, two steps back restoration update.

A local (at the time) general repair shop originally installed the 2.5 inch full TTI exhaust system (using stock exhaust manifolds) about ten years ago now. Although the factory clamps hold it up right against the floorboard, nonetheless the transmission parking brake sprag control cable burned through thanks to the fat TTI driver's side head pipe.

I had a spare (used) cable so I went about adding some hi-temp silicone covering. Now the interference is even worse, with the head pipe actually touching the cable/silicone cover. I will need to route the cable a couple of inches further away. I saw no warning in the instructions that TTI provided and, after it was installed by someone else, I was not aware of an interference problem at that time. So buyer beware.

P.S. I was going to forward this to TTI today, but oddly enough, TTI provides no email on their website: "feel free to contact us via phone, fax, or mail."
