Header tube size on original coupe
Hi! I recently purchased the glass packs to try and build the exhaust for my scratch build coupe. I was wondering if anyone knows what size primary pipes and secondary pipes was used on the original Daytona Coupes for their exhaust system? Thank you, Mark

As I remember it was 1 5/8" into 2".

I was watching a show the other night about the Daytona and noticed the side pipes looked to be 2".
I'm not sure originally they were all the same though. Larry |
Hey! Thanks guys. The glass packs are 2in in and 2in out with 2in core. 3in outside diameter. That is what the plans I am using calls for. It doesn't mention anything about the head pipes. My plan was to use 1 5/8 and 2in tubing. I have spent alot of time looking and searching for pictures these cars and there really is a lot of difference in the 6 cars. One appears to have a lot bigger diameter mufflers with maybe 3 in outlets on them, but the inlets look smaller (CSX 2601). Some of the others look small like what Chuck was using. Thanks again!!

You would have a hard time finding them but CSX-2286 has to this day the 1960 Chrysler Imperial resonators I used as new mufflers. They were the same size, except 3 inches longer than the cans that were on it, before I restored the car. Orginally, they were after the Chrysler mufflers as additional silencing. These cars changed with each owner and restoration, example, CSX-2299 rear spoiler is not orginal. The car was sold to Mike Shoen without a spoiler and he had a friend make what they thought it should be. It is close to what the orginal looked like, but it is different than CSX-2287 and CSX-2300. My suggestion to you is to have 4 made of stainless steel and polished to a SS finish, not chrome like and do the complete header system in SS. Then, if you want them white you can use a high temp paint, the orginals were not painted white, they were coated with a aero-space aluminum oxiide coating that was white.
