The preferred torque tubes for exhaust tips, i.e. from the axle to the rear bumper were the tapered tubes, '36 and earlier.. They are close to 2-1/2" IN the center, tapering to about 1-1/2" at the end..
The ends near the rear bumper were generally cut on an angle... Made the "Boom Cans" look bigger... Been there done that...
I can still remember the first spit manifold I made, it was for a '38 Chevy 4dr..
Burnt a hole in the rear portion of the manifold, brazed a piece of water pipe into the hole, attached a length of flex pipe, brazed to the pipe extension, ran the flex pipe out through the frame,tying same in place with baling/tie wire... Had customers lined up at the shop wanting us to do their cars...
And people think that "Old School" is/was so neat...
