DNTPUNCHGRANDPA I installed a HOOKER 1 in 2 out muffler on my 1970. The sound is deep and throaty and nothing even close to that spurned rice rocket sound. Any good muffler shop can install it without the unsightly under hang. No need to bother the heat shield either. I was able to create an agressive DTM look from behind with 45 degree exhaust tips. A 2 1/2" exhaust fits nicely into it. It sounds really nice at speed as well, not deafening at all. CICLISMO

I must agree BD It looks SWEEEEEET! Patience and a little craftmanship can go a long way. I have several dashes in various stages of wear so I can have a few practice tosses. Thank you for sharing the pics. I live in Florida so I will be tested by both heat and humidity. I am thinking of using a few dowels to connect and strengthen the area to be repaired.

COOP Any plating shop should be able to do a serviceable job because they should all have high speed buffers. After the cleaning process is done thoroughly a good buffing should make them look nice at a reasonable cost. I have a set of turbo wheels (SWASTIKAS) that I had done years ago in Calfornia. They came home really nice looking. After a couple years the chrome began to chip caused by the brake dust. So have them buffed and clear coated is my suggestion. NO PLATING!

TW If indeed the fuel pump energizes without the car running finding your leak shouldn't be all too difficult. I do suggest doing it when the engine is cold. A hot exhaust header or manifold can cause an unwanted BBQ as well. If you are using something other than a stock fuel pump you may also have too much fuel PSI. Good Luck
