Exhaust Options - Heidts 4 Link

[69Stanger408 82]

Looking for exhaust options. I have a 69 Mach 1 with a Heidts four link, coil over, & panhard bar set up along with Heidts X-Brace. Interested to know if anyone had luck with a packaged system (Flowmaster, Magna Flow, Pypes, etc.) or am I looking at full custom? Understand a custom pipe will be required from the JBA header flange to the main system within the trans tunnel if a packaged system is available. Unfortunately the vendors say the systems are for stock OEM cars and cannot confirm the fit will work in my application. Don't want to be buying packaged systems only to pay the freight of returning same. Suggestions are welcome.

It will need to be custom, which is not much $ 

I have a 4.6 and used an x pipe made for that engine, after the mufflers is where you will need it custom made. 

The pipes will have to go under the axle, there will be Zero room above it.

Dont worry, you cant see them when on the ground.

Agree with NEWSTANG with one addition:  make sure the rear suspension is at full droop when you set up the rear exhaust under the axle so you have plenty of clearance.

Yes, dont do this on the ground, it must be done on a lift so the rear is fully down

newstang, I like your tail lights, did you make the panel yourself?

[mustangstofear 608]

Here's what we developed for our new MTF Watt's link. This will also work on the Heidt's . We also made sure that we could use all the factory mounting points.

This is all mandrel bent 2 1/2  Stainlees steel

When is it available?

We just need to place an order with our manufacturer. We can supply you with the tailpipes and the pipes going up to the mufflers, that way you can use any brand of muffler you want.

yes, i cut and welded in the 68 tail light sections and epoxied in the lenses, then sanded down with filler till it was flush

Ok, awesome like to see that.

MTF whats the price on the over axle exhaust you are selling.

[mustangstofear 608]

I'll  work on pricing  this week and place an order.  

[Vicfreg 771]

Very cool set up.

[mustangstofear 608]

We should have pricing next week. I'm  always  amazed at how much  Stainless Works charges for setup fees :(

[mustangstofear 608]

We got the pricing from Stainless Works, and man did it ever make my hair stand on end LOL. There's no way we would be able to sell them for what they charge. So we took one side off and dropped it off at the company that make all of our gas filler tubes. In the pictures it shows their 24 inch muffler, but they would wake up the dead, so we now have their 36 inch on there.

[69Stanger408 82]

So jury is still out? Speaking of gas filler tubes...are they stock replacements? I have a Holley replacement tank w/EFI pump, the tube does not line up very well at all, needs much adjustment to align regardless of the rubber tube....will need to address as the cap angle is approx 1" away from top to be flush with back panel.

 

[mustangstofear 608]

The company that  does our gas filler tubes has done all the scanning,  and should have  us a quote next week.

Now that this has turned from a technical conversation into a sales discussion, shouldn't this move to the vendor section?

[mustangstofear 608]

 

we just got pricing from our other vendor  yesterday and they are a lot less, plus no shipping cost. This will be tailpipes and hanger brackets only, you can furnish what ever brand of muffler you want. We are leaving on vacation now, but will have the pricing done when we get back.

I agree.  If there isn't a vendor section, one would be beneficial for both vendors and non-vendor members.  Vendors often add valuable information.  But I don't think a technical forum is appropriate for a vendor to promote sales of their products.

Always someone crying. What's the big deal

[BuckeyeDemon 211]

at this point, forums are pretty much dying or already dead.  probably don't even need to have different sections anymore...
