Bronco exhaust system ??

[jmms]

I just got my 76 Bronco running again (after two years of sitting) I put a new set of Hooker Headers on it . Now I need to add an exhaust system. Anybody have any ideas or advise? I found a exhaust kit in JC Whitney for $149. Anybody ever installed one of these before?

;D ;D ;D I would just suggest going to a loco muffler shop after you get the headers hooked up and have them add the rest less hassel and fast just my 2 cents worth good luck.%) %) %) Bill %)

How do those hookers sound son!??

Took mine to two Meineke shops (just to ensure honest quotes) and all they wanted to know is where I wanted the route of the exhaust to go... Next thing I know I have a custom duel exhaust with no catalitic or headaches...

The cat is only necessary on one side of the vehicle? I am considering re-installing mine on my 77' since it didnt have one when I got it. Having to skirt smogging creatively is annoying and it would just be easier to stick one on and not have to worry about tricking the smog nazi's.

That's a fact. And nowadays with the availability of better breathing aftermarket cats, it's not really a performance problem either.
I like the single 2.5" system on the passenger side myself these days. Way better than stock and not as much hassle to route.

ps Smog checks becoming a problem
in Rapa Nui now are they?

If your loco shop will only do SMOG compliant work, tell them it's a '68.

find a small shop that handles race cars and such. Tell him you will be using the eb off road only. trail it in without license plates.

Or, buy a cat and hollow that sucker out. In some states all they do is inspect for presence.....

Why hollow it? With a nice modern monolithic honey comb core, there is pratically no restirction. It ain't your grampas old pellet bed cat anymore.

That's if you have to deal with cats.

Yeah...I have a Big Dog for dealling with cats...yummy.

Someday I may have to out one on. but for not I am enjoying the catless ala mode.....

Since you are in GA, all you have to do is take it to a shop out of the metro ATL area and I am almost positive that any shop will put a custom exhaust system on there with no questions asked. I had my 2000 Dodge (pos, so glad I don't have it anymore) truck done and the guy looked at me and said "You want the cat to stay on or take it off"?;D

What's a good reasonable price for dual and/or single exhaust from the headers back at a local shop? I wonder if it's just cheaper to go with one of the systems from a place like Duff at $242.00 for a complete 2.25" system.
