I'm very close to ordering a split exhaust manifold from George Asche for my 38 plymouth. Before I do I have to go to a garage to talk to them about bending up the pipes. What size pipe should I get? I'm really considering going with straight pipe for now with no mufflers to see how it sounds. I figure I could always add them later if it doesn't sound good. I'm also a little worried about placement of the tailpipes, the original one exits between the spring and the gas tank. There isn't room on the drivers side to put it in the same location. I want them to come out on each side of the car. Do I need anything else besides exhaust manifold gaskets to change this? It looks like I will have to pull the intake too. I would love some input on doing this, I want it to look and sound right.
