That's what I used in the '40. Red's headers & exhaust pipes to the mufflers. I had to use 12" mellow tone mufflers from Van Pelt, as they were the only length that would fit in the X-member area. Red's wasn't bending tailpipes at the time or I would have used theirs as everything fit great. The tailpipes were mandrel bent by Tubular Automotive in Weymouth MA. They did an awesome job, and I still have the light gauge test pair they bent to use as a template to bend the heavier gauge finish ones. That rig turned out to be real snappy out the business end of the pipes.
