Thread: 1937 Plymouth 5 Window Coupe

Tweet

Spent some time in the shop again this weekend. I was able to get most of the exhaust routed and installed. I still need to determine where I plan on exiting the car. Not sure whether it will be out the back or behind the rear wheels. My plan it to get the body back on the frame so I can check out the best possible path.

I spent quite a bit of time trying to keep this exhaust at high up as I could. I didn't want it hanging down below the frame a lot so I spent the extra time on snaking it thru the frame. In the end I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. It is all mounted in rubber and it ended up really solid.

I ended up with the shorty headers from Speedway. They fit up nicely. I even ended up with the "H" pipe based on recommendations I received here. Thanks guys I learned something new that day on how important one is.



After much discussion and many, many, many hours or YouTube videos and countless other hours of research I ended up with the DynoMax mufflers. Can't wait until I can get this thing started so I can hear what what my decision sounds like. Until then I will just have to wait and we all now how much fun waiting its.....



I also ended up using the Blue Exhaust Hanger Grommets from Summit Racing (only $3.00 each). They seem to work really well with my fabricated brackets.







I really tried hard to keep the exhaust up high as possible. In the the lowest point on the exhaust system is the "H pipe which only hangs down a couple inches, which is still as high as the front end.



The balance of the exhaust I was able to keep high and up in the frame. I didn't to have things rub when going in and out of parking lots.





After I finished up on the exhaust I was able to get the front nose cone mounted on the frame just to see how it would look.



My radiator also showed up now too. I picked one an aluminum 3 core unit, but that is a project for another day.
