Guys,

Does anybody make a stock exhaust system for 36 cars that actually fit? I've bought two sets so far for a customer's car from one of the major vendors (who shall remain nameless because they've tried to be helpful...) but it's the biggest bunch of scrap iron that I've ever seen. Don't get me wrong, I'm used to pre-bent exhaust systems needing a little tweaking to fit right, but this stuff is so bad that it'll have to be cut up and sectioned if I even consider trying to use it. Sheesh...

Thanks,
Deron

I agree 100%, Best to find NOS or NORS. They fit correctly. Try Stacy Brown with Antique Ford parts in Arlington, TX

I had the same thing happen to me. Ended at a muffler shop with his sawsall and bending machine. It works now.

36Bill has it right. Go to a muffler shop and get it custom made to your car.
