What size exhaust did you go with? I need you to run up to my neck of Wisconsin and help get my '67 on the road before fall hits.

In hindsight would you run the x pipe again? I think the tone they provide sounds great but how much of a pain would it be to take the drive shaft out or remove the cross member.

Driveshaft.........No Problem........If there would be a problem getting the cross member out........just drop the pipes from the headers......no problem....
