    Are you referring to the exhaust manifold or the pipes thereafter?

    Sorry man, the pipes. Most importantly, the pipe coming off the manifold. I'm sure somebody out there has one (nos, repro, etc...) Or if not, something close to it.

    I would think any reasonably competent exhaust specialty shop could whip that out in short order. I had a complete system done by a local shop on a '41 Buick Sedanet a few years ago in about two hours.

    Hey Scott take a pic of what you have, and tell me what you need. I can measure it out for you on mine which is stock and complete. Other than me cutting off the hot water heater muffler last night.

  9. got a couple NOS tailpipes for the buick, takes a special clamp for them think I misplaced them

    they were some tinny pipes back in the day
    someone witha card deck can make a head pipe to original specs
    used to do it all the time, but lost interest
    many exhaust shops have decks for old vehicles, i am trying to sell out my stuff and forget it
    try Heartthrob exhaust in Litchfield MN
