1946 Mercury exhaust system source?
Who has the best exhaust system components for a '46 Mercury? The only place I've found that carries any of the larger pieces is Mac's.
Thanks in advance. |

Check with Waldron's, waldronexhaust.com. They do a lot of vintage car exhaust systems.

Re: 1946 Mercury exhaust system source?
George, along the line of what you posted, I'm curious. My recollection is that the engine in a 46 Merc, sits in the same place as in a 46 Ford, in relation to the firewall and all points rearward. Is that so? And, if so, wouldn't the exhaust system for the Merc be the same as for a Ford? I don't really know, and I'm just speculating...

Re: 1946 Mercury exhaust system source?
I think you'll find that the extra length is due to shifting the front axle forward, the drive train is the same dimensions on both ford and Mercury.

Re: 1946 Mercury exhaust system source?
The added length of the Mercury is forward of the cowel.
The motor and drive train is is in the same location as a Ford. The difference happens with the steering gear, about 4 inches more forward than a Ford, which creates a different interference for the dual side pipe if installing dual exaust. Single, stock exhaust system with cross over pipe is the same for 42-48 Ford or Merc. I have a Waldron dual side exhaust pipe for a Mercury if anyone is interested. |
