Re: Zippys 50'
Scott2,
It was a generic kit I bought from summit. Flow master U-Fit Dual Pipe Kits 815936
2 1/2" Stainless. I did need to buy a couple extra fittings, the mufflers and the exhaust tips.
I searched online and found the rubber hangers but do not remember where from.
It fit up and welded up just fine, it is TIG welded.
I had the mock up motor and transmission place with the headers attached. We had the frame level and then i placed 2 x 4's across the top of the frame and mocked up the pieces using tie wire to hold them up. I hung the mufflers in place first. Another little tip - the stainless is fairly expensive so 2" PVC schedule 40 pipe is just under 2 1/2" outside diameter, and cheap. I used it as filler pipe while placing / cutting fittings as it slipped inside and worked great.
After we had the layout and all cutting done, we just started at the header flanges and tacked our way to the rear.
One thing I would do differently, there are no joints in this exhaust. It is welded one piece front to back. So it came off the chassis in one piece tacked up, then we bench welded it completely then re installed after the chassis was painted but before the rear end was bolted in place.
I would install some of the cool stainless clamps to make it two pieces.
Hope that helps.
Mike
