Pypes hi-tuck for A body’s
Does anyone know if the only difference from a “standard” Pypes system are the offset pipes leading into the mufflers?
Or, are the tailpipes different as well, specifically the radius over the axle from muffler outlet? I saw for something like 35 or so dollars header extensions, with an offset, that I’m hoping I can make work. Have an original system and I really want the hi-tuck, and I really don’t want to buy another whole new one, as I was told by Pypes a while back that’s what I had to do. Infuriating to say the least.

Tough to answer.
That high tuck system is basically moving the mufflers up a bit closer to the floor. I use factory style hangers and on an A body that muffler hanger pretty much dictates how high it's going to be with no way of really changing that. With that said I see now that Pypes is offering factory style muffler hangers for this kit with the HGH part number. I have to wonder if they have made those shorter just to work with this kit. I haven't had my hands on a set of those hangers so can't say for sure but I have a suspicion. Otherwise a factory hanger isn't going to "high tuck" the muffers if you know what I mean. Moving the mufflers up will also change how the over-the-axle pipes will fit and function so I'd have to imagine those are probably bent a little differently. Me personally I wouldn't want to try and cobble together just the high tuck mid pipes on a current system and then have that change everything from the mufflers back in the process. I tend to agree with Pypes in that it would be best to just start with a whole new system so everything can be made to fit as it should without a bunch of fuss. Then just sell your current system. They are still the most reasonably priced stainless mandrel systems on the market from what I've seen. |
