[DeTomaso] tail pipe

[Will Kooiman]

Mark,

The easiest way to get the headers-to-mufflers pipe is to make them out of
mandrel bends.  You might find a vendor with the pipes, but since they
didn¹t provide everything, they wouldn¹t know what fits.  I would be
surprised if someone has the pipes, and especially without mufflers.

I used Columbia River mandrel bending for my 180¹s.
http://www.mandrel-bends.com/catalog/  Their pipes were the cheapest I
could find - almost half of everything else I found.

If you do not have access to a welder and something to cut straight, you
could buy the bends and take it to a muffler shop.

Prior to the 180¹s, I had headers, pipes, and mufflers made by Fred Terry,
I believe.  I bought them from someone on the list.  They were very nicely
made.  They had 3² pipes between the headers and mufflers, with Borla XR-1
oval mufflers that fit just right.  They looked good too.  The 2 1/2²
XR-1s are identical, except for the inlet/outlet diameters.

You can fit 3² pipes through the suspension, so 2 1/2² should be a piece
of cake.

I used Magnaflow tips for the 180s.  They are dual wall, which makes them
about 1/2² larger diameter, but the dual wall gives it a nice smooth
finish.  I have also seen nice tips that were not dual wall.



Hope this helps.

Will.
