High flow AAR exhaust tips

[don selleck]

Building a 416 stroker for my 70 AAR. Wanting to keep the look of the original chrome tips, but with headers 3' head pipes to 3' power stick mufflers (skipping the u turn mufflers} into the chrome Trumpet tips. The baffle has to go for sure inside, but after looking beyond that looks like about a 2" hole for the exhaust flow. I saw some chinesium high flow from a company but now there not available. I was wondering if anyone has sourced or fabbed new ones for a better flow Thanks in advance.

I welded a pair of old Megs megaphone style tips on one of my buddy's cars before. I just cut them back for the 2-1/2" dia pipe we needed. I never heard anyone comment that they didn't look factory. At least not from the average street crowds. Now, the true date coded, numbers matching weenies would probably have freaked out.

thanks, that makes perfect sense. I'm not too concerned about what the weenies think, most of them don't even have one.

Hey, number matching weenies have their place.

It's nice to see an all original car from time to time. Sadly, few truly know what is 100% factory correct these days. But cars, in my opinion, were made to be modified and driven like a mad man (or woman) from time to time!!

I like a numbers matching car but you tend to not drive them as much. Kinda glad the original motor is gone, give me a clean slate to at least modify some of the mechanicals of the car while maintaining the original look.

Went and measured the original ones diameter. I knew it would be quite invasive, , but I can cut it off and weld the 2 1/2" exhaust to the 4 or 5" piece left of the conical trumpet end. reweld the hanger and have it chromed for the original look or paint it black. thinking chrome.

I agree, pay to have it chrome. Dang money keeps flying out the window!
