[FC] custom exhaust

[James Davis]

I see two problems trying to make this work.  First, there is no room 
for a muffler on the left side unless you do major surgery.  Secondly 
the angle for the mufflers is wrong using the car "U" tubes.
The tube angle is an easy fix: just heat and bend or section to the 
proper angle.  The left side space problem is more difficult.  I cut 
out the fender bottom and then fabricated a new muffler cavity to 
house the six inch muffler.  You, also, need to make an left side 
muffler mount (easy).  The last thing is a cutout in the rear valence 
to accommodate the muffler tip.  Make this slightly larger than the 
one on the right to accommodate the greater angle of the exhaust on 
the left side.
You could just let the muffler hang down below the fender bottom but ....
I switched to headers and Supertraps about four years ago and 
contrary to Clark's catalog admonitions, their headers fit fine if 
the left fender bottom is cut to accommodate a muffler or 
Supertrap.  I think I have pictures if you are interested.
