| Ordered the parts
I just ordered a complete exhaust from Jeg's. Turns out the tech guy I was talking to was a racer and has a MH on a P30 so he knew a lot about this setup. As nice as the Banks or ceramic coated Thorleys would have been...I elected to keep my project dollars for the interior work in progress but still take this opportunity to replace the entire exhaust system from front to back.
Here is the parts list:
Item# = 500-69120
Description = Hedman Hedders Headers Motorhomes Class-A 1968-91 396-454 ci, 1-3/4'' Tubes/3'' Collector
Item# = 555-30651
Description = Jeg's Universal H-Pipe Kits H-Pipe Kit, 2.5'' Dia. Tubing
Item# = 555-30561
Description = Jeg's Universal Dual Exhaust Kit w/o Mufflers 3'' Collector to 2-1/2'' Pipe
Item# = 289-17749
Description = Dynomax Hemi Super Turbo Mufflers 2-1/2'' In, 2-1/2'' Out, Offset/Offset
Item# = 720-7158
Description = Mr. Gasket CopperSEAL Exhaust Gasket BB-Chevy Square Port
I plan to buy two 2 1/2" pipes from NAPA to make the long straight run between the muffler and the turn out. So all in all everything will go on for about $450 and shipping was free.
I justified this in my head by thinking I could do this replacement three or four more times before it equals the cost of a Banks system.
Should get everything by Friday. I'll keep everyone posted. On my last trip I got about 8.5 MPG. I'm anxious to see if there is a big "bolt on" difference on my upcoming trip.
