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:

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!)

'42 Tudor Sedan......was thinking I would like to put on 2" dual exhaust....(or possibly 1-3/4") using the stock manifolds if possible....and running the tailpipes all the way to the bumper......looking for feedback from those that have maybe done this already and how difficult with some of the clearance issues I have heard about.
Also, I am pretty sure I have decided on either Brockman Mellowtones or Cherry Bomb's so I would be interested in some thoughts on that if you care to share.
Thanks !

I knew a man in 1961 who built an dual exhaust system for his 1934 Ford Tudor using galvanized plumbing pipe and 45 degree angles and elbows with Gambles hard ware store glass paks. His engine was a stock V-8 flathead and that is why I have replied. The thickness of the pipe gave a very pleasant very appropriate sound to his flathead. Now if I were to say you should have the tailpipes exit laterally close to each other so on a cold day the vapor exhaust would swirl contra-rotating to each other that would be very 1942.

It can be done, you need to fabricate a j or u shaped pipe with flange comming off of the drivers side manifold. The block off the cross over exit on the passenger side manifold then complete to the rear of the car. Much better to install cast headders desinged for duals. I have used Red's Headders [tubular] on two different cars & they were great, but cast ones can be had too. Post this on The Ford Barn, lots of help there too.

Shop around in your area for a good exhaust fabrication shop and have them install the complete exhaust system for you. It will be more expensive than doing the job yourself but will save you lots of time and frustration. They will solve the clearance problems for you.

I used Red's headers and Brockman mufflers. They will make any size and length . I love the tone of them. I have seen the set up for using the stock manifolds once in a while on E bay.

Go with the 1 3/4" pipes. The 2" pipes may interfere with the clutch.

I had 1 3/4” steel pipes done at a local shop, i supplied 18” steel packs from Mac VanPelt. The pipes were a bit more than a kit but the tucked in really well and looked like they belonged. It had a nice mellow sound. Dyno test showed headers are not necessary so I used stock single outlet manifolds. I think they were from late 40s flathead.
