1963 Exhaust Judging

[Rob A.]

In an effort to preserve my 1963 survivor coupe in as close as possible to original condition I've replaced the exhaust system with a new system from Allen's (see the pictures). The system that was on the car was a composite of original and replacement components.

Is this system correct for the car? It is a late build, June '63. I thought that regardless of build date the 1963 systems narrowed at the center of the car to clear the deeper floor wells. This system does not narrow but does have the correct connection at the head pipes (head pipes slip over the intermediate pipe.

Thanks,
Rob

Rob, I think once the tool box trays disappeared the pipe changed with it, other wise the venders would only be making the one style. I have a tool box, and my friends have 63 without the tools box and there pipes look like yours, and all 3 cars just went through the nationals without a hitch.
