Where did you get your impy tail pipes from? Link preferably.

did they require finagling to get lines up? I wouldn't mind going with the prefabbed route providing it was worth it for you.

Tails came from Summit. Not hard to find there. Everything lined up fairly easily. I used four universal swivel hangers. I'll try and get pics of how I got them rigged up.

Yes please do! I can probably save a boat load of money this way, as compared to having them custom bent.

Glad it went well for you. That looks very nice. I would like to do the same thing on my TC someday.
So you say most of it came from Summit?
Can you give details on what parts you ordered, please?

Were these the tail pipes???

I have been looking for the H-pipes and there are several from Summit. Which ones did you use, if you have P/N's?
Three of the ones I found are:
SUM-640725
BBK-1507
BBK-1510

[Smokestacklightnin]

i used the sum-640725. had to cut the support tabs of because they hit my trans crossmember and would hang down too far. Other than that they fit just fine.

I have a set of those tailpipes in the garage, same p/n's.

Thy were going to be used on the blue car, and from my research, they were the right ones.

They have very nice bends.

ahh same as the ones i got...yet...it looks like yours sit far better than mine...i may go back under there and see if i can tweak the angle a bit as mine hang annoyingly low..

I'll get pics later this week when I jack the car up. Car is so much more fun to drive now. I can romp on the gas (drive the car like it should be driven) and not worry about pissing someone off (like the cops) with the noise.

I used two different types of swivel hangers. The two with the "hooks" instead of closed ends were used behind the mufflers since they were easier to work with during mounting. I notice that I mis-calculated my original cost ... forgot to add the tail pipes. Ended up around $520 total.

Part numbers from my receipts:
BBK-1507 Off-road H-pipe
BIG-53609FLT Muffler starter tubes
WLK-54016 Impala tail pipe
WLK-54017 Impala tail pipe
WLK-17696 Boss Turbo Mufflers
WLK-41094 Tail spout turn-downs
SUM-630550 Swivel hanger
WLK-35103 Swivel hanger
SUM-G4625 U-clamp
WLK-33226 SS Band clamps

Extra from that would be the straight pipe pieces that I cut/flared to use between the "starter tubes-to-mufflers" and "tail pipes-to-turn downs". You can get the extra straight pieces at varying lengths from the parts stores. I already posted what I used.

Hope this info helps.

can you take a pic from the side? Is any of the tail pipe visible?

I like the Dynomax Hemi Super Turbos. About 6 inches longer and a little quieter than regular Super Turbos. Dynomax mufflers are glasspack mufflers

I like the Dynomax Hemi Super Turbos.

Ditto.

Been having a vibration at around 2400 RPM. Turns out the H-pipe was just barely clearing the transmission cross member. Will have to figure something out, but it's fine for now.

Pics to show how my system is rigged up.
