exhaust down pipe question on a 65
I ran 2.25 inch dual exhaust on my 65 Barracuda for decades without doing the crossmember mod. The pipe hung a little low, but I never had a road clearance problem, and it was visible only if you squatted down. Since I put TTI headers and their 2.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust on the 65, I did go ahead and do the mod (actually needed to for the TTI system). Here's what it looked like with the 2.25 inch exhaust and unmodified crossmember.
