Just watch out for those restrictive inserts.

My 65 Chevy SS Malibu had those alignment inserts.
They were smaller than 2" ID. Restrictive. eek

Took those out & my SS ran much better.

Well, I'm pretty much committed now. He can't make that bubble end like the photo in my first post, so he says I can use the donut gasket. The insert is 2" just like the pipe, so it will pretty much be like a factory exhaust. If this engine runs well enough for me to invest some $$$$ then I'll probably go with headers at some point and then re-do the exhaust.
