    What has everyone done to their exhaust system after swapping on the Buick rear exit manifold? Unfort, I don't have my Jeep within 1000 miles so can't just go out and tinker in my head for a bit about the issue. Thanks ahead of time

    On my 68, I went with the rear dump exhaust when I put pwer steering on. I just scrapped together the old exhaust tubes with some extra tube and it fit perfect, its tight but fit good and looks good. Mine has duel exhaust, did they all come with duel exhaust?

    I took mine to an exhaust shop and had them build a y pipe that goes between the bellhousing and oil pan and then single exhaust out the back.

    its been so long since i fooled with one of these, i think that you can put a righthand manifold on the left and it will exit through the front,dont know for sure but it wont cost you anything to pull the righthand manifold and try,and if it fits you know what you need

    That's all the factory did to get around the Ross Box.

    I just made two pipes on the pipe bender with two glass packs on the end because it was fast and easy, too loud though
