Emilio dropped off some SS tail pipes that had been cutoff and he asked if I could put them on his car. The first order of business was to clean up the old ones. I had to cut them and then remove the pieces of pipe that were slip fit into the tail pipes.

Once those were out I had to cut off the old pieces of exhaust hanger and clean the old welds off. They came out pretty good.

Here are the pipes after being cleaned up. I did that with an eraser. :)

Here is a quick shot of the old driver's side pipe. Note the angle of the dangle.

Old tails were marked and cut.

Once they were cut off I had to cut the old hangers off, so I could reuse them on the new SS pipes.

Then it was time to weld them on.

Finished. I think they look good. Time for Emilio to get out the never dull and polish them up!

Do you have one that mounts in the radiator?? If so those can be finicky. And a lot of them aren't adjustable. Mine screws into the boss on the top of the thermostat housing. Those are much better
