Re: dual exhaust on 40 coupe
I used Reds Headers on my '42 and their extensions clear the pedals just fine. Here is a link for the earlier version of extension, hope it helps?

Re: dual exhaust on 40 coupe
Here's a 34 P/U we did a number of years ago. You need
to take a hole saw and elongate the hole towards the outside frame rail and it will lay in there nice. You want to clamp the fuel line out of the way so it don't get hot. G.M.

Re: dual exhaust on 40 coupe
Unless I missed it, nobody mentioned Red's headers. I bought their headers and exhaust pipes for the '40 coupe, and the exhaust pipe on the driver's side is already pre-bent to go right through that hole in the frame and clear all those issues. I had to use 12" mellow tone mufflers from Vanpelt to fit in the X-member of the frame without cutting anything. The guys at Tubular Automotive in Weymouth MA mandrel bent the tailpipes, and all the pieces fit great. PM me if you would like a photo of how the system clears the clutch area. Russ

Re: dual exhaust on 40 coupe
Headers may be on the agenda down the line. The shop did use 1 7/8 pipe in the tight spot then stepped up to two inch to the back with 12" glass packs. Reversed the eye on rear spring and now doing the front spring. All worked out good and installed WEEDETR tube shock kit on the rear.

Re: dual exhaust on 40 coupe
Really no need for the larger diameter exhaust on a flathead, it is not going to flow that much. I run the smaller dia on my engines. Old HAMB post:
"If sounds are a concern, go with 1 3/4 tail pipes. I did several flatties using 2" duals. Bigger is better! Right? They never had the classic flatty sound. Disappointing to me and my customers. Until the guy with his 51 Merc insisted he wanted 1 3/4" pipes just as he had in 1955. Bingo! it sounded just like 1955. The original single exhaust was 1 3/4" so with duals you have doubled the capacity..." Last edited by JSeery; 10-28-2018 at 10:39 AM. |

I used Reds extension pipes for stock manifolds on the pickup. There were no clearance problems.

Re: dual exhaust on 40 coupe
Reds headers, exhaust pipes, 12" mellow tone mufflers & mandrel bent tailpipes, can't beat that sound.
