questions on exhaust
ok so heres the deal, i have a '68 coupe with a 302 and auto tranny. we just did a cam swap, put headers and a torque converter on, put on a ported intake that i got from a friend, and a 500 cfm 2 bbl holly carb (also from a friend). the next step is exhaust. i was thinking about going with glasspacks. so heres my question: ive been looking for an exhaust kit with no luck. could anyone post a link to a kit with just the pipes (i figured i would buy the mufflers seperate). any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated. thanks,

I don't see any real advantage to buying a kit. Take your preferred mufflers to a good local muffler shop and they'll weld you up a good system in a day for the same price, and it'll actually fit properly.
btw, ditch that 2V intake/carb and put a nice 500-550CFM 4V carb on there. You'll get better mileage and better throttle response out of the 4V.

well for now im going to have to stick with the intake/carb i have, because i don't have the money to spend at the moment. i got that stuff for 50 bucks and im only 15 so its fine for now...back to the exhaust, ive found some pipe kits for under $200, and i didn't think a shop would do it for that. plz correct me if im wronge. thanks,

Just what ever you do, dont go to midas or a big muffler shop like that. I took my 68 when it still had a 302 in it to a midas and I think that company will hire anyone the is brave enough to get under one of their junk car lifts - because welding sure isnt a requirement. Those junk booger welds that they threw at my exhaust system didnt last hardly any time and all. Instead go to a mom and pop place, they take some pride in their work.
