Exhaust System
« on: November 04, 2007 - 12:29:01 PM »
I am in the process of ordering my dual exhaust from Accurate.
Does anyone have pictures of the underneath of their car with the exhaust system, and the heat shields that go above the mufflers?
Also how do the heat shield mount, and do any of the brackets go through your trunk.

On my 72 Cuda, the heat shields mount under the trunk. Three bolts hold each of them. The bolts do not go through the trunk floor.
72 Cuda, owned 25 years. 496, with ported Stage VI heads, .625 in solid roller, 254/258 at .050, 3500 stall, 3.91 rear. 850 Holley DP, Reverse manual valve body.

1999 Trans Am, LS1, heads, cam, headers, stall, etc! Love to surprise the rice rockets with this one. They seem so confident, then it's "what the heck just happened?"

Is this on a Challenger or Cuda?  Not too sure if ti makes a difference, though, but......


I'll have to look under my car, kinda busy today though...I seem to remember on my '72 Challenger, there may be upwards of 5 mounting bolts.  2 up to the trunk, 2 to the frame rail, and 1 on the crossmember for the shock.

Here's a pic I found on the net.. http://web.mac.com/khansen6/iWeb/Site/Exhaust.html   Look at the top right pic.  It looks like it had 2 tangs going up to the trunk.

Here's another pic from Ebay... There are 2 holes on a lip that goes the lenth of the shield that mounts to the rear frame rail that is hard to see.  Again, I could be wrong, will need 2nd opinion...
