The commando exhaust setup has the resonator right at the rear bumper, and it has the big chrome tip on the end that protrudes through the rear valance. That is the part that they were having trouble with, and have replaced with a tail pipe. In my recollection, the resonator adds to the unique...

I’d like to hear anybodies opinion on the Waldron early A body commando exhaust system, if anybody has that setup. I’m going to redo the exhaust on my little commando car, and would normally buy the Accurate Exhaust setup, but Waldron is within driving distance from me, and about $500 cheaper...

Laysons offers the old Spitfire design, quite pricey tho. At least compared to what Harold sold them for back in the day. They started out at $188, not sure what they are now. Just looked them up….$865! Double OUCH! How can they go up almost $600 when headers for 67 and later cars from...

Sounds to me like any one of these coatings will be a good choice, just picking the right color is all you need. I’m a fan of the Eastwood dark grey cast iron paint, even tho it has a shelf life, I’ve used an age old can with great results!

are you sure they’re not $615 for the pair? At one time shortly after taking over the design from Harold, they were $450 from Laysons. I can believe they are more than triple that now, nobody would buy them when Dougs and TTI are less than $1k!

I believe the largest diameter pipe that will fit and not hit the torsion bar or the frame is 2 1/4”, that’s what I have on my car. And my exhaust guy squawked about the minimal clearance to get pipes through. He also made be a bell flange where it turns to head out back, so I could take the...

What happened to the fenderwell headers, Mike?

They've been on my 66 Cuda since about 2000, and work very well compared to the original exhaust mans!!

Well, I've been known to make these from time to time! It allows up to 2 1/2" pipe to be run through the passenger side where there is no cutout otherwise! It is a direct bolt in, and is made from the original crossmember!

Agreed!! That's why I didn't get them then, and still don't have them now! I have Spitfires on my blue car, but the next system I'm getting will be the Accurate Exhaust original style system, it's a thing of beauty, and is supposed to flow better than duals, and sound great! I have that set here...

They fit!! When Doug first decided he would start making these again about 15 years ago, he started a preorder list, you had to call him personally! I was very early on the list, and had a good talk with him as he laid out the details of making these headers originally, and why they would be...

You can get them! Doug Thorley owns Doug's Headers, and was the original manufacturer of the under chassis DDart headers!

Rainy Day Auto is her new name! Just search the members column and start a conversation with her!

I have an X pipe on my GTX, because my exhaust guy put it on! The car does one heck of a burnout and sounds cool as hell!! What more do I need to know???

Did you hammer the pinch weld where the firewall meets the floorpan in the tunnel hump??? You know the 727 doesn't fit without hammering that flat, and it's still tight and may not give you enough wiggle to get the passenger side the free clearance it needs! As for the flange meeting the...

If you're going with a direct replacement for the /6, any exhaust shop should be able to recreate the original exhaust!!

The Accurate exhaust system is designed to work with the stock manifolds! If you're springing the almost $1k for that setup, might better buck down for the Dougs underchassis headers, as the stock manifolds are a port mismatch to the 360 heads, and not by just a little either!!

Your guy is right, 2 1/4" is super tight going through the torsion bar clearance spot! My guy whined about how tight it was, all of he way to the bank to cash my check!! I believe the OE setup is 1 7/8", but I can check when I get home!!

There is always an advantage to a crossover pipe, and even more advantage with an X pipe! Is it worth the cost??? Maybe not!!!.....

Do NOT spend the money on those headers, they won't fit! They are for a "mid sized"car and the Cuda you have is a "small" car! Don't spend your money on something you can't use, buy the ones you need up front!! Yea, the correct ones are more money, that's because it's more work to make a header...

Yep, you need the 90* filter adapter! That's what I run with Spitfires and I can get my filter off no problem! Geof

Not true, my modified crossmember is engineered to be a direct bolt in piece! The cutout is in the only place on the passenger side that will allow you to pass through, and my converted units are open as far as they can be and still clear the crossmember! It works great with 2 1/2" or smaller...

Tis true!!

Good luck getting their passenger side through the transmission crossmember, which isn't even cut out for duals! All early A bodies only came with single exhaust! The solution to this??? How about one of my dual exhaust crossmember conversions!! They allow the passenger side pipe to pass through...

The floorpan is dimpled in the location for the passenger side bracket! They were not drilled unless the car was dual exhaust equipped, but they are there! Ill see if I can get a pic for you when it's light out! Geof

Sooo...hook me up with a set that will fit an early A.....please!!! Geof

Accurate has the entire Hi-Po system available but its not cheap! Not outrageous though for what you get, and its a nice system! Geof

Well Tommy, how bout this?? I make the crossmember conversion units to allow the passenger side exhaust to pass "through" the crossmember! Here's a pic of one mocked up but not finished yet! Interested? I sell them for $75, but will knock $10 off the price and pay the return shipping if you'll...

How about messaging or calling Hedman directly! They would be more apt to send you 2 rights than a store selling someone else's product! Geof

Ours is not to question why!! Ours is just to do as we're told so they can send us a new set! As for UPS covering that damage,'they'll do it for another big company without question, but boy oh boy if it were just you making the claim, you wouldn't see a nickel! Funny how they'll cover that with...
