[98 SNAKE EATER]

A few years ago I found a 70 T/A at a local car show that sounded amazing.

When I asked the owner what kind of exhaust he was running, he said it was a basic stock replacement system, but he replaced the rear 4-port muffler with an X-pipe (basically straight piped with an X-pipe)

Took a peek underneath and it was well hidden, but looked sumthin like this (forgive me for my lack of photoshop skills)




I know this configuration looks like it will actually hamper flow, but it sounded so good..

Said his motor was basically stock except for an intake and Holley carb, but I could've sworn it was cammed.

Is there a direct muffler replacement X-pipe like this available?

A factory 70 T/A exhaust system has only the transverse muffler behind the axle. No mufflers under the seats like first gen cars, as there's not really ground clearance for proper ones.

So if you replace the transverse muffler with an X-pipe... there's no muffler left.

Exactly, that's what he had (no muffler.....the pix above were just used for reference)

It was definitely louder than stock, but not nearly as loud as a muffled race engine

I'm used to running straight pipes on everything anyways lol

Definitely something you'll have to make work, but any off the shelf x-pipe should get you close to where you need to be.
