    OK, Ive seen that everyone has had trouble running dual tail pipes. I just had my exhaust done, but they dumped it at the axle because of lack of space on the left side due to the fuel sender. I see that some of you with earlier cars have used Mustang Tanks, but it appears that my setup is different. So what is the final solution, or is everyone modifying for the Mustang tank?

    here chris

    tell the guy to do it this way.... if you can get about 2 prebend mandrel bends you can really get it to work nicely... if you wanna wait until after knotts i might be able to get you a X pipe like that for cheap though magnaflow.

    here are some pics

    i had my exhaust go over the axle and routed out the rear corners just below the rear valance at the outer most corners..... 2 1/4" pipe...and it looks pretty good..

    The mustang tank conversion is the same for all mavericks and Comets. Except the 70, of course.

    so is '70 the only year with the sender in the front and the trunk floor being the top of the tank?

    Cab; that is correct. I have a 69.5 with dual exhaust, 2 1/4" pipes, and it was a challenge to get it to clear, but the exhaust guy did a good job.

    I have got a 74 with the original tank. I am runing 2.25 duals and it can clear if you got a good exhuast shop.

    My 74 has the original tank and I ran 2 1/2" pipe out the back. It is a very tight fit but the guy who did my exhaust is really good. This isn't the best picture of it but it's tucked up there pretty tight. Oh yeah, it is a 74, it just has been converted to 73 bumpers in case anyone was wondering.

    I found a good way to dual it out, with no clearance issues...

    Anyone want to show me how to do thumbnails? I have asked this about 20 times in the past year, and the only responses I have ever gotten are "Damn, that is a huge picture!" or "Good thing I have scroll buttons...!" :biglaugh: :huh: :hmmm:
