FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

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.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
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:

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!)

We haven't, over the years, found any dual exhaust systems that simply "bolt on". The left side presents problems, primarily in getting around the pedal area. We happen to have an excellent muffler shop nearby, and they make up the necessary pipes to fit. It takes some artistry, and the clearances are tight. Also, the expansion of the pipes when hot must be taken into consideration. It is a job that is best done on a hoist, and most existing bolts will likely either break or strip, and must be dealt with to install the new ones.

I agree with Supereal. Take it to a good muffler shop,especially one that does custom work. I did for my '41 and they have been on 14 years now and still look in great shape.

A small divot must be made on the driver's side pipe to clear the knee of the clutch pedal. This is done with a torch and ball peen hammer, being careful to not make the dent so deep that it restricts flow.

You might try the tech line at Mac's (800) 877-0948, they supply a simple Dual Conversion Kit for 37-40 Car and 37-41 Pickup. Doubtful it would crossover to 36 without modification but possibly they would have some insight. Nothing ventured/Nothing gained. Good Luck.

Buy a set of GOOD headers, like from REDS,
then find a GOOD EXHAUST SHOP and have the rest made up, it will save you hours in frustration on trying to get the stuff that is forsale to fit,
BEEN THERE DONE IT, SENT BACK, HAD DONE,EXCEPT I Installed the headers using stainless steel bolts,
also the shops use a much heavier gauge metal and it is ALUMINUMIZED which is very important if you want it to last, the stuff,from the venders seems that is made is much thinner and has no protective coating
NOW HAVE NO LEAKS OR RATTLES, and sound great with better mileage,,put mufflers on with only one baffle,
exhaust shop gave me a choice of mufflers,
sounds like a CORVETTE whem running at idle and mellow on the open road,
hope this helps, good luck 37RAGTOPMAN

Call Red's Headers and talk to Jim. Nice stuff. Bought dual exhaust for a 39 and a 36 and they fit like a glove.
