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:

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!)

Many people equate noise to power, ie: straight pipes, gutted mufflers, etc.. An open exhaust, headers, are noisy and do not start to do the job they are intended to do until the engine gets up to 3,000 rpm's or above.

It takes an artist with a pipe bender to fabricate the left side head pipe. It requires threading it through so the clutch pedal is not affected. The only advantage to dual
exhaust, in my opinion, is the mellow sound of two glass pack mufflers.

I have had 1-3/4" pipes, stock log manifolds with stock type chambered mufflers on my '36 since 1955'. Prior to the change in '55 I had Douglas steel packs, got tired of the noise.
The engine in my Ford is a very well built 59AB, Weber cam, .60 overbore and modified stock heads.. The original dual exhaust system was an off the shelf J.C. Whittney mail order system.
I had a custom muffler shop build the existing system using chambered mufflers that would fit within the chassis.. There is a slight rumble to the pipes on idle, just enough to hear the cam over-lap..
I used my '36 for daily transportation for many years, have driven the car over 94k, I like stealth in lieu of 'look at me'.

I use the dual cherry bombs on my 34's with 1 3/4 pipes. Very mellow sounds. I put one on my 35 Pickup, no duals. Nice sound too. Had stock exhausts on the 34 Phaeton and couldn't hear it. My 2 cents.

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.

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

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.

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.
