    does anyone have a diagram of how the original V8 exhaust should be set up? from another post it looked like there's supposed to be a Y to a single pipe with a muffler and maybe a resonator? I was originally going to duel the car but seeing as everything else is as close to factory as I can get it, I figured I should go with a single exhaust out the back.

    I looked too. I did see they list some for 71-77 Comets in both 6cyl and V8 in both aluminized and stainless. Probably worth a call to find out...

    Yes they have them ,not sure why they don't list it on there site , I bought a set for a 6 cylinder , but they have both 6 and 8 and was available in stainless also , and they sell the original type clamps and brackets , nice people and nice parts took 5 weeks to get it though . Was worth the wait

    I bought their exhaust system for my 63 Falcon HT. I installed it by myself with the help of a floor jack to hold the pipe while tighten the bolts. Lady on the phone was a pleasure to talk to and knew her stuff. I'm very pleased with the cost, material, fit and quality of their product.

    I would really like to see a picture of it. We can make it ourselves but I'd like to see how it's laid out. I don't want to wait 5 weeks and pay twice the money, but yes, they were very nice on the phone!
