Pictures of exhaust system?
« on: February 06, 2007 - 07:53:15 PM »
I just got my exhaust system from Accurate for the 340 Cuda.  It's the standard 2 1/4" i think?  Anyway, does anyone else have any shots of their undercarriage?  It looks pretty easy overall, but there are a few hangers that I am not sure where and how they go.  I'd much rather see pictures so I don't mess this one up. 

Do I need to use any kind of lube or silicone on the gasket where it meets the exhaust manifold, or is the new gasket all I need? 

Thanks for any help! I think the '70 is a bit different than the '71-'74, but all pictures would be great to see.

Wow, really sharp looking, 4Cruizn!!  The ones that I'm blaffled about are the ones that apparently mount to the body above the resonators.  Those will be tough to see since the resonators are in the way.  Once I get under the car (if it ever warms up!!) I will probably understand how they mount a little better. 

I appreciate all the pics!  Keep on posting if you feel up to it!!   :jumping:

I installed the right side of my exhaust this evening, and the over-the-axle pipe is extremely close to the undercarriage.  Is this a major concern?  I would say I have less than a 1/2" clearance.

Should be about an inch on the passenger side and a little more on the drivers.

Thanks for the pics PlumCrazy.  Doesn't look like there are any means for making adjustments here.  I'm right on with the driver's side, but the passenger one is close.  I'm gonna have to figure something out.  Thanks!

Any pics of the exhaust tip area that are this good?  Your pics have helped immensely!  :thumbsup:
