4 speed and tti x pipe
« on: June 13, 2016 - 04:51:12 PM »
I'm running a 4 speed in my 73 and was planning on buying a tti x pipe. Talked to Jamie at Passon, the reverse rod will have issues, tti said the same. What are you guys doing? Not running an x pipe?

I am running the H pipe.  I still had to get a later reverser shifter rod, as the rod for the 70 hit the H pipe.  No issues now that everything is as TTI said it should be.  They know there stuff.

Jamie said that even if I got the 70-72 reverse rod I'd still have to bend it to clear the trans bracket?

I used a 3" x pipe TTi system on my 71 Charger 4 spd with no issues

Jamie mentioned something about the way the trans brace mounts will cause interference with the reverse rod. Even if I went with a 70-72 like TTI says, Jamie mentioned I'd still have to bend it to work. Don't want to do that.

You can get the later model rod 73/74 and you wont have to bend the rod.

Vertman,
Just curious...
Is the 73/74 rod the one that loops down and around?

That is what I have in mine. Not original to car though.

73/74 if more a "J" while 70-72 is more of an "L"

From talking to tti, they said since I have a 73, I will NEED a 70-72 reverse rod to clear the X pipe. Also I've read a couple posts that claims that's the case and it'll work. My confusion came into play when I went to order one from Jamie at Passon and he didn't seem to think it worked, unless I misunderstood him?

Brewers specifically lists the 70-72 rod as compatible with a tti x pipe in the item description.

Thanks,
I have what you described as a J shape.
Trying to decide if I will try the TTI when I put in the 3".

Mike, I thought I went with the 73/74 style....however I double checked and I had to get the 70/72 one and yes it is like an "L" not a "J".  I have the TTI 2 1/2 inch exhaust.
