Well, I'm done!

I replaced the entire exhaust system on my '56 Olds and am very greatful it was only single exhaust.

Weaving in and out of the x-braced frame proved to be FUN! Kind of strange beads, flares and clamps used on those older pipes... no points lost here... as I used NOS stuff!

Interesting! So all of the pipes are NOS ? Are they hard to find and expensive seem to be good questions,I have dual exhaust though it was a single once...probably missing a few pieces from original.

Pete

I scored the pipes and muffler off ebay; everyone else was afraid bid and pay for shipping from Canada. It took me better than 2 years to mass all the pieces and another 2 years to get around to install them.
