Does anyone make a header back exhaust kit that actually fits. Just looking for standard duals no X or H pipe. Need 2 1/2” all the way back. I have tried the Pypes kit and I have tried the Jegs kit and wasn’t happy with the fit of either kit. Or is the only good option is to have a muffler shop put on a custom exhaust.

Thanks!

It may help to say what vehicle you have.

Yes that would probably be helpful. 1968 442.
Thanks!

What was wrong with the Pypes kit?

They will likely all need some tweaking, since not all header collectors/flanges are in the same location.

No matter what I tried with the Pypes kit I could not get the tail pipes lined up straight where they pass through the bumper cut outs. They came out of the bumper cut outs at a crazy angle. Would have not looked nice with exhaust tips.

TJohn - Just a thought: My Pypes kit came with incorrect mounting brackets for the rear frame rails. I had the same symptom as you, the pipes would NOT line up with the cut-outs. When I got the correct brackets everything lined up perfectly - as if the Stars, the Planets, and the Universe were in alignment! Check out this thread:

Pypes need to stop with all the logos.

Nice. I heard it was acid etched. Hard to get off. Why do they gotta do that. Like filing off the edelbrock on their intakes.
