Drivetrain back in car need one more suggestion
Hopefully Mr Barron sees this this ! My engine is back in and the mechanical work is complete
Except replacing the exhaust system I obviously want to keep it factory style .. so just a few questions 1, the current pipe ends are not chrome tipped and are curved down and not straight back is this Correct? 2, any suggestions on a correct style muffler brand ? 3, should it have a cross or x pipe? Here’s some pics minus the air cleaner the current exhaust system runs straight back separately..PS … notice the tag registration date!!!  Thank you |

Simple answer for all your exhaust questions.
Gardner Exhaust. Plus they furnish the closest resonator that is used on all 1966 GTO’s.

Looking good under the hood Tedd !
There was an optional chrome tip exhaust for 66GTO that came out past the back bumper. Yours didn't come with it but I don't think anyone would object to it on the car. Will just be a matter of your preference . Its rarely on PHS documents - but i see them very often on cars that didn't come with them. The original mufflers were unequal lengths like shown by 428ho4spd's photo of the Gardner system. Definitely agree Gardner is the top choice for your particular car. Not all cars are as worthy. Don't remember if we mentioned before but your radiator also looks to be the original 4core Harrison. |

The wheel weights on the outside is probably & actually period correct for 1966.
I would prefer them only on the inside - or touched up neatly with black paint so they don't grab attention. Its a personal judgment call overall |

Hose clamps look new but the wrong type.
Original Repops on all the coolant hoses would be a small investment that pays off in appearance. The new clamps are an adverse effect to all your other detail work. And congrats on the new wheels and redlines . ! . |
