63 Fleetwood dual exhaust

[Robert Collier]

I just got the exhaust done last month, finally got it on a lift to take pictures. Ran dual exhaust and had it dump right behind the rear door. I ran dual Magnaflow's.

As for the mufflers I will try to get underneath to get some shots, the way the mounting points for the lift were it covered them up (apparently really well). I can not state any difference in the performance, the motor has just been rebuilt, put on a 650CFM Edelbrock, electronic ignition and the trans has been rebuilt too, so I am not able to make any type of comparison or if there was any performance increase, from what Tony said I would tend to lean that there is.

Thank you for the compliments, it has been a huge labor of love, I really appreciate people understanding this kind of undertaking (this is not Overhaulin :) ). If you can go onto my pictures you can see the Cadi with the frame off and just the body on jack stands, I took pictures of the bottom of the body and the frame going back on.

I really like the exhaust, especially when i get on it, it definitely has that throaty hot rod sound.

Thank you again everyone.

Just to add to what Tony was saying, I had duals on my car but like your design better... and pinched your pictures for future safe keeping. LOL.   I had duals, with flowmasters, which made the car have a distinctive loud sound, especially when I got on the throttle. My hot-rod heart really enjoyed hearing that 429!  With my 64 Coupe DeVille I have gradually dialed back non-factory items and have been restoring to items that would have been correct for a 1964 Coupe DeVille.  It definitely wasn't any dissatisfaction with the duals, but where I wanted to take this car. I still have some performance items (e.g. pertronix, and edelbrock) but if you pop the hood these are hidden and has the "appearance" of a factory 64 CDV.

With that said, I would love a mild customer 63 convertible, and perhaps one day I will be pulling up your dual exhaust pictures and doing something similar. I really can express enough how great your undercarriage looks. I know that is a lot of time and effort (and probably money).   Most of us car guys can appreciate any part of a car this clean regardless if the car is an unrestored original, restored to original, or modified, or fully custom.

I now see they exit out the side... very neat.

[Jason Edge]

Very nice. Can you show how and where they come out the back. ps.. fantastic undercarriage. Wow!

Not bad it is louder than the stock, but it does have a nice rumble now and when cruising it is not bad at all. You can hold a conversation and not have to yell, I am very pleased with it. When you get on it it is some throat to it.
