Pre-bent Exhaust System?

Mike in MD · Mar 9, 2010

Anyone know a good place to purchase a pre-bent exhaust system including everything from the flange to the muffler?

I just bought a '56 311 with a rusted off horizontal exhaust system. I'm not sure if I want to keep it horizontal but I do need to replace everything up to the manifold. I keep finding mufflers for sale but that's not all I need.

Any help is appreciated.

get a 1/4 rod and bend it the way you feel the pipe shape should turn ,, then go to the mufler shop and them follow the pattern ,

I have a 430 with underneath exhaust. Very similar setup.
A few years ago I ordered everything from Case. Exhaust pipe was pre-bent with all the curves including a dent to clear the steering shaft. Flange welded on too.
Only dissappointment was the muffler. The new one was louder than the old one that had a hole in it. Wasn't the same brand as the original so...

There's one on Ebay. Will it work? See link below.

Thanks for the suggestions. I decided to switch to vertical exhaust given the height of the horizontal muffler above ground. It's also a simpler setup since I could buy the elbow.

I'm sure you'll be hearing from me with other questions.
