The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.

VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

This left side exhaust I have for sale is Quality ORIGINAL Aftermarket Equipment , using the original size and thickness pipe, and original quality muffler and tailpipe made in the U.S.A. in the 50's. It is not junk like you get today!!!

Found a custom exhaust shop only ten miles away, and will have them perform the installation.

Thanks to all.

Locate a well experienced exhaust specialist, that's one that specializes in good quality exhaust systems. not just your local muffler shop. The specialist, who many times can be referred to as exhaust artists are few and far behind. I just happen to have one in Burlington, Wa. Beautiful work, never fails, Of course it costs more.

To Steve Lee and Autoluke, I have had better luck with a muffler shop if I have an original pipe to go by when bending one up. I did it with an NOS set for my 37 and again with my 42. Hang the extra on the wall, and use it when necessary, (especially New Englanders) or give it with the car when you sell it. Oh, and the other make engine shown, makes one appreciate how good our flattys look. Lighten up. 42oink

BAD IDEA, in my opinion,
if it leaks it is dangerous, exhaust fumes are not good for you,
and if leaks will or could cause backfires out the exhaust going down hills and possible blow out your mufflers,
any exhaust shop could make you the pipes, from headers back, out of heavy gauge aluminum coated steel
will last years,
that flex pipe is just to get you home, if you have a exhaust problem

I have a complete exhaust set up for the left side to give you duals. This is original type "Genuine of the 50's" dual exhaust system. The exhaust pipe that makes a "u" turn at the front fo the left manifold, has a a stock muffler, and a tail pipe. All you will need is the hanger at the muffler, and the one at the end of the tail pipe; and they are cheap and available. Let me know if you ae interested and I'll give you a good price on it. Let me know.

I have 1 3/4" pipe from the header to the muffler on the left side, on my 40 Mercury with Fenton Headers. The shop said it would have been easier to fit the 1 3/4" pipes with the exhaust manifold. He had to make a very sharp bend to get the pipe above the bottom of the frame, without cutting the cross member opening.

Most Fords from 1941-1948 can use the large pipe. Before 1941, it is easier to use the 1 1/2" or the 1 1/4" pipe. The flex pipes sold for replacement do not hold up very well.
