[QUOTE="Hucklebuggy, post: 481791, member: 8504"] An old drag racer friend of mine told me how to find the best spot to put the H pipe in this style exhaust back when I was in High School I think. It may not be feasible to do in a buggy that your trying to build everything before really running it though. Supposedly, you take some spray paint and and spray a good solid line on the inside of each exhaust tube. You'll want to cover about a 3-4 ft section starting at 6" past the collectors, going to the back. Then you want to warm it up a little, then go take it for a good hard flogging down the highway for a couple minutes. Pull over crawl under it, and you should be able to find a spot in each line that has pretty well burned the paint off, or at least looks to have been hotter than rest. The H pipe should be installed to connect the hot spot of each side. The only car I used an H pipe on was a Chevy II with 3" tubes and Dynomax race mufflers. There wasn't much room under it so, I just put it where I could make it fit. I think that ended up being just behind the tail housing of the transmission. I loved the way that car sounded. It didn't have the uneven sounding pulses coming from each side like most separated exhausts. Hope that helps, or maybe someone can call BS on the paint trick, since I never actually got to try it out. [/QUOTE]
