Posted By Discussion Topic: 1935 Exhaust System     35Phaeton 09-21-2010 @ 6:16 AM reply profile send p.m. Member Posts: 48 Joined: Oct 2009 I will be needing the exhaust, crossover and tail pipes for my 1935 Phaeton in the next several months. Can anyone reccomend a good better best source for these ?? Someone that makes all three pipes. Maybe even a stainless steel source. I have heard of guys needing to cut and fit pipes and then getting them rewelded to get a proper fit Locally, Mac's carries these but they can't even tell me the gauge of pipe or the mfg except that each pipe actually comes from a different job lot supplier. Sounds like three different manufacturers, perhaps off shore..

I was not happy with the oversize terminations to the manifolds from Macs TomO 09-21-2010 @ 7:50 AM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 7252 Joined: Oct 2009 Kepich makes the exhaust pipes in both stainless and aluminized. His pipes fit fairly well. The crossover and the Y pipe fit perfectly on my 40 Merc. I had to have the tail pipe adjusted at a muffler shop to prevent a rattle. I did this because the muffler shop charged less than the return shipping. I prefer to deal with someone that specializes in exhaust parts rather than someone that just retails the product from a vendor. If you are going to put your car on the Concourse for judging, buy the muffler from a V-8 parts supplier like Dennis Carpenter.

However, he can give advice on sources. parrish 09-21-2010 @ 9:07 AM reply profile send p.m. Member Posts: 349 Joined: Oct 2009 Call Jim at Red's Headers.

"Out of the box" sets almost always require fitting, and if you can get the job done without twisting off at least one bolt at the manifold, your luck is better than mine. 37RAGTOPMAN 09-21-2010 @ 11:07 AM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 1958 Joined: Oct 2009 START looking for a custom exhaust shop, this is because you might get the front done, the problem I had was the tailpipes, are you installing duals ? or single exhaust, if duals go for the headers, you will not need a crossover pipe, but will need a bender esp on the left side. where the battery is, will have to go around, lets hear how you made out, 37 RAGTOPMAN an KEEP on FORDIN,,,,!!!! 35Phaeton 09-22-2010 @ 4:16 PM reply profile send p.m. Member Posts: 48 Joined: Oct 2009 Thank you all.......this was a very good exchange of info. I am going with a single exhaust. After doing a google search on Kepich and reading all the bad experiances with him, I dont think I am up to the hassle. I never crossed my mind to go to a muffer shop for a 1935 vehicle.....but as luck would have it, I walked into the local "mufferman" and was supprised to learn and see that they do custom systems even in stainless. Thanks again for your replys, Jim 37RAGTOPMAN 09-22-2010 @ 4:30 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 1958 Joined: Oct 2009 If you go stainless, make sure you have clearances , because it will expand and may make noise like rattles and thats the last thing a FORD needs is another rattle, on CORVETTES, this has been a problem with them but they are fitted real tight underneath,some of the parts venders will not handle or sell them,BECAUSE OF THIS. So Be Careful 37RAGTOPMAN an KEEP on FORDIN,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
