    Well just finished my exhaust for my Maverick with the Cleveland motor I built a complete system using all mandrel bends and cutting and tig welding the system. It is 3 1/2 inch thin wall light weight tubing to save the weight for the track put a fuel cell in the trunk complete with sending unit for factory gauge and removed all the strap brackets to make room for huge tailpipes. I have a thing for big full exhaust with tailpipes puts the sound where it belongs behind the car. My 64 T-bolt clone with a 505 all aluminum big block has 4 inch full system with tailpipes looks like stove pipe gets alot of attention at the cruise-in's. So is it the biggest well lets see some others post what you have !!!!!!!!

    I like that you used real exhaust hangers too with the rubber isolaters. Gives it a real professional finished touch.

    Why no subframe connectors? Are they on the inside of the floor?

    That's an h-pipe...IIRC that helps to balance the exhaust tone and reduce droning noise. There is also some speculation that it improves performance.

    I think he means the two header tubes that criss cross under the engine. That is the way the Tubular Automotive 351 Cleveland headers are built so that they can fit the car.

    [ Never mind now I see he specified picture one ]

    Thanks guys it's KILLER sounding system no drone and pretty quite for 3 1/2 inch thin wall tubing. Yeah that's a H-PIPE in the middle for equalizing exhaust pulses make for more torque from the motor it was worth all the work let tell ya!!!
