Re: Rowdy 57

ok, thanks. they have them listed as one number fits all years so thats what I am after, clarification.
for the pipes outlet, if you dump out the side, I suggest to attach the pipes firmly at the end and possibly even slip them inside a larger hidden pipe and fasten so there is a small air gap for heat insulation, then attach the rest of the system to them with some sort of flexible joint or flex pipe so they don't move with the rest of the system as the engine moves under torque. that way no rubbing noises or paint removal or leaking joints due to the engine torque easily overstressing gasketed joints or clamps. sort of like the old side pipes did back in the '70's. lots of leaky joints or header gaskets back then due to rigid connections and short systems that don't flex. nothing worse than seeing a great looking hotrod or custom vehicle and then the owner starts it and you hear all the exhaust leaks or there is a big puddle of dirty oil on the ground when he drives away.
just my opinion
