DAY 2 EXHAUST SYSTEM for Camaro/Nova

[68l30]

Yep, just unbolt the feet / rear tube annd add the correct ones for your application. Fits in my Camaro nice with some custom mods to make it bolt in without any permanent damage.

BIG.

I have 2 first gen Camaro "day 3" complete flowmaster used dual exhausts systems that are both great shape from cars that i parted out in the 90's soon after being installed. They have been in dry heated storage ever since. One is full one piece with an H pipe design. Other is 2 piece. Both are complete header flange to tailpipe. I beleieve they are both 2 and 1/2"... but it's been a while. Ive saved these figuring I would use them some day.. but at this point, my cars are all original now. Maybe not what you are looking for, but if interested Pm me and I'd take a reasonable offer. Probably difficult to ship though.

I remember a lot of guys in the early 1980s just running glass packs off of the headers (or not too far back), and pipes that came off of the mufflers at a 45 deg angle exiting just in front of the rear tires. The same 'look' as AAR Cudas / T/A Challengers had from the factory. Dumping the exhaust under the car wouldn't pass PA state inspection, but having the tailpipes clear the rocker just in front of the rear tires was perfectly legal.

The glass packs I remember most guys using were the rounded case models like the purple hornies shown above, not the thrush style above with the rolled ends. Walker "Royal Scot" was a popular model - they were painted a dark red color.

I bought this complete Cyclone Kit......(Dave was awesome to work with)
When I started this thread I had already clicked the watch on eBay. I was investigating other full exhaust options.
I am swapping out the mufflers for Cherry Bombs.
The NOS Blue 2&quot; Cyclone/Walker glass packs be listed in the parts for sale section. this weekend,,,,
I am real happy with this Real Day 2 NOS system as I get the best of both worlds....A vintage system with stock appearing tail pipes (adding chrome tips) without the muffler shop generic look.

I'm Glad to see the participation was high, Everyone contributed Great Info &amp; Pics.....

A word to the wise -- if you hang those Purple Hornies off the back of the header collector (no tail/extension pipes), make sure there is a hanger on the end of the mufflers. No hanger and you'll constantly be tightening the header bolts. Just sayin' ...

Sometimes that weight also cracks the headers.
I ran them like BIG most of the time. Depends on how big and heavy the mufflers are. Plus, who really cared back then.
Brent has a good idea how he supported his header mufflers. Maybe he will share.

FWIW, I ran it that way for 20 years on a SBC...never had a problem. Then again, I had ground the header flanges (welds) true and used good bolts &amp; gaskets.

So true Sam! Mine have dents in them to change the plugs and also to clear the AC box (flattened out a whole tube). A BFH was used to persuade the pipes. Didn't matter back then...make them work so you could drive/race it. Cheap and easy...not always right, but that's how it was done.
