So nut up. What have you guys bought that you wish you hadn't? |
I bought the 3" exhaust for the 70 SS396 and ran into the same problem. You would really need a muffler shop to fit the tailpipes properly between the leaf springs and lower quarter panel. I just cut them 67-68 style and it worked fine. I think the 3" headpipes into the mufflers works fine but just take 2-1/2" pipes off the mufflers for better clearance and probably minimal power loss.
