Original 427 street exhaust

[blue sky]

Does anyone have a photo the the tailpipe section of an original 427 street exhaust. This would be the section that runs from the rear of the muffler/silencer goes up over the top rear wishbone and back down along the side of the gas tank and out. Would like to see how the bends are shaped before I begin to make and piece the sections together. Thanks.

Note how there is an indentation on the side of the trunk for the pipe.

You didn`t tell us which car or the year... Galaxie , Fairlane ( very rare for the 427 ) ?? I have a 1963 1/2 Galaxie 427 in the garage ... and somewhere , I have a bend diagram/program from an old muffler shop for the 1963 Galaxie . Shows all the bends and angles etc . I`ll try and find it if you have a 1963 .... don`t know if it`s the same for the later models , but doubt it . Also , the convertibles are a little different as they have a frame cross brace for more stiffness .... which means you can`t use the original H pipe crossover the other 427`s came with .
You might also try Gregg Donahue down in FL if it is a 1963 or `64 Galaxie . He may have some old manuals etc . as he specializes in those year Galaxies .

Hi Larry, Thanks for the photo. There are a lot more straight sections in there that should make things a little easier to set up. I want to do a template system before I take it to a bender and have a single stainless pipe bent. Really appreciate it. AJ

Hi Bob. Your right. Should have noted it was for a Mk 3 Cobra. Got a good photo from another member that will really help me out as I start fabricating the sections. Thanks so much for your help anyway. AJ

If you go through this set of photos of an original car (obviously restored) there's some excellent photos of the exhaust system.
