Re: 63 tail pipe identification

OK guys picture of the "real deal" attached, not heavily polished, .020 inch thick, Slot 1.165 long X .130 wide. Seam on the very bottom, but I would not expect 100% in that configuration, many were.

Re: 63 tail pipe identification

Interesting discussion, but let me add that in 63 only...

with the 63 heat shield installed over the extension in the back, the PN of the service replacement extensions is covered, so you cannot see any numbers or letters anyway.

Can't get a magnet to stick to mine and I will measure the slot and post later with a better picture. I wonder if Walker made these sometime back in the day??

Re: 63 tail pipe identification

I didn't see the need for a picture, but the one pictured is quite magnetic! I used my "Judges magnet" on it and left no doubt that it was magnetic!

You need a special stainless steel magnet, Tim.

Come over to the house. I've got one.

Are you coming to the MD Meet on Sunday or the School on Saturday afternoon?

Re: 63 tail pipe identification

I apologize up front, but dumb question....

Does the same tip fit both 2" and 2 1/2" pipes?

Re: 63 tail pipe identification

David,
The pipe that exits the muffler is 2" on all mid year cars so the answer to your question is yes the extension is the same for all. On high horse engines the pipes are 2 1/2" up to the muffler inlet but the muffler outlet pipe is 2". On low HP 2" all the way through.

Timothy
In addition to the absence of the seam, the angle of the outlet, the swedge and the slots do not appear to be TFP.

I understand.

Will be good to see you Sunday. We'll put you to work.

Re: 63 tail pipe identification

As the exhaust moves from the engine toward the outlet it cools, and the volume reduces, so the smaller outlet is not a bottleneck in the system.

Thanks Bill, that makes sense......

I am so glad you folks have patience with folk like me. I am currently running a 327x300hp+ with 2" exhaust and am thinking about installing the original 327x365hp with the 2 1/2" pipes...That's why I was asking.

I'm also torn about maybe even re-working the current motor and throwing either the aluminum intake, holley and 2 1/2" exhaust manifolds on that motor OR throwing some headers on it for 'Cruising' purposes. and saving the original for later on down da road.

Thanks to all again, Bill, Tim etc. for having patience. Still trying to figure this Fun stuff out. Mistakes are expensive.. Ask me how I know.
