Just remember to allow for that old man HEAT which will make the exhaust grow bigger than you're you know what!

Frisbee managed to cause all manor of crap for me on the '32 with not allowing for that growth.


Looks fantastic!!! Love that big bad ass look and that 572 is just the motor to pump it up!!

The problem was that the "tip" was FIXED.... so all the nice "wubba" hangers didn't help - because the end was fixed solid. That's what I saw about the way your's is done. It appears to be bolted in place "solid".

Just tossing this out there to help.

A flex joint will be installed at the rear of the exhaust to allow for movement.

Default Little update.

Just finished up painting the hats for my wheels. The color is Lexus Tiger Eye with a matte clear coat finish.The color changes to almost a black when it gets out of the sun,its a pretty cool effect!I think it will make a great accent color against the black. Now I can send them back to Zak at Boze to get put together.
