Dave,
I am running a Monza system connected to a Pacesetter chrome header. To
connect the two together, I went to my local auto parts store and bought
a pair of 45 degree bends that have a larger size on one end to fit the
pipe into. This arrangement allows the thing to be twisted enough to
fit the two pipes together without distorting the path of either end.
It also makes it very easy to disassemble it for service since the pipes
are all connected with clamps and not welded.

Subject: Yet another exhaust question...
I am in need of an exhaust system now that i am moving into a more
populated
area and the neighbors might not like me running the Spitfire with open
headers. I also want to get one because of what someone said about loud
headers covering up the sounds of any other problems with the engine.
So...my question is this. I am looking at either the Bell Stainless
exhaust system or the Monza. Both of them appear to go straight up the
center of the car. Is this correct? If so, how are people connecting
headers that terminate next to and sort of below the transmission to
these
exhaust systems? Custom piping from the end of the headers to the
exhaust
system? Does anyone have any underside pictures of this sort of setup?
I
just want to know what to expect when i finally make my decision between
the
two systems.
Thanks,
Dave
'68 Spit...perhaps I will call it Gumby...
