Right now the car has a kerry hunter header into a straight pipe. Not exactly practical if you know what i mean.
This came with the car but i'm not exactly sure how to connect it all. Do I use exhaust clamps? Is this a spring type junction? Can anyone identify who made it? Thanks Attached image(s)

It looks like there are tabs welded onto the various pipes. If the tabs mate, then it's bolts...if they don't mate then it's heavy springs.
You could also use exhaust clamps on the joints, but tightening them might distort the tubes. |

Hmm... i think you are right about the tabs that bolt together. It does look like the tabs line up and can bolt together. Thanks!

Yes the muffler is made by Flowmaster. I also need to come up with an exhaust pipe/tip to direct the exhaust out the back.

Some systems had tabs like that and used a heavy spring to hold them together so they could easily be disassembled at the track when the phrase "Chance favors the well-prepared" did NOT work quite like it should. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

Do you have the stub tubes ?? I dont see them in the pics. It appears to be a early "Tangerine racing header"

Hey Mikey.....those are flat flanges...there's gonna be a big gap if bolted up to a type four. There needs to be short piece between the flanges and the exhaust gasket to seal.....No?

Is this a generic "gasket" that I can buy?
Where can I buy this stubbie that everyone speaks of? |

That I don't know.........you need a short piece of pipe to go between the flanges, into the recess of the exhaust port to compress the exhaust gasket. Secondly, the short "stub" pipe prolly has a flange on it to mate to the head pipe flange. I would assume a good muffler shop could fabricate them for you, but remember, the port is not round. If you have a set of stockers around, look and them and you'll get the idea.
Maybe Brad has some or Tangerine could fab them. |

I have none. You need the stub tubes. What you have wont bolt up to your heads. I would contact Chris Foley (Tangerine Racing) He is on the east coast and north of you.
Somebody somewhere has your stub tubes. I'm betting they are still attached to a set of heads sitting around somewhere. B |

That's not anything like my system, not even close, except for the fact that it's a tri-Y. My stub pipes can probably be made to fit. I would need to know the primary tube diameter and have some details about the flanges so I can provide a set that bolts up easily. |

I took a guess as to which tube goes with which cylinder.
numbers one and two appear to cross under the flywheel. You have the secondaries upside down. They appear to cross under the tranny. I can't tell which goes with which primaries but the 1 & 3 should pair up, also the 2 & 4 should go into one collector to a secondary. |
