72 Swinger 5.7 HEMI
As for towing, probably wouldn't push it that far.... However, don't forget that when yer towin' the heavy stuff that the trailer brakes do all the work. I'll keep it under 6K. Looking to build a matching teardrop trailer in the future just for the hell of it.
As for the exhaust, I started with factory manifolds--can't argue with a horsepower per cube--and they won't leak. I hate leaks. Didn't want to spring the big money on TTI headers anyway. 2 1/2" aluminized pipe after that--drilled for the O2 sensors 8" from manifolds--about where they were on the truck.
Hand formed the rest of the way back--with zero clamps. Did I mention I hate leaks? Flowmaster 50 Series mufflers--wanted something a little less aggressive than the original 40 Series. They sound awesome. Still have that Flowmaster sound without pissing off the neighbors. You don't announce your arrival five blocks away. Finally, I tucked the tails in between the springs and quarters. Ya can't see 'em--part of the plan. Lots of hidden stuff on this car by design. I'm not a show-off.
Here's a few pics front to rear underneath.
