Ryan,
On my 72 I use an LCB header sourced from Rivergate that has a 1 5/8"
collector which will accomodate the original 1 1/2" pipe on the inside OR a
1 3/4" pipe on the outside. I went with a 1 3/4" pipe and had a piece welded
onto it for the stock mount at the bulkhead. It is pretty easy to brace it
in place and then use a jack behind the axle to angle it up a tad. A JC
Whitney Hearthrob #ZX222813Y muffler straight out the back with a tip cut
from the other pipe rounds it off. Oh yes, the Spanish-made band-type
exhaust clamps that Moss started carrying last year are GREAT for not
sticking down too far, being easy to install, and taking a lot of abuse.
Just go to their site and do a search on "exhaust clamp". BTW, my exhaust is
not stainless. Stainless WILL rust (it "stains less", not rustproof) and
tends to sound tinny, so it isn't a magic bullet that would mean never
touching your exhaust again.
