Removed mufflers today.
Those're rusty too much...
I sprayed lubricant a lot to it.
All of the clamps have removed but I couldn't disconnect pipes...
So I decided to cut the pipes!
I use a motorcycle jack to support the muffler then cut the pipe.
Removed mufflers and front pipes.
I'm going to replace headers, and mufflers.
Perhaps I'll use the original tail pipes.
These are my new exhaust stuffs.
Doug Thorley headers, Flowmaster cats, 70 series mufflers and H-Pipe kit.
I tried fitting the headers.
It didn't hit anywhere, that would be O.K.
The headers looks awesome!
I'm excited! I can't wait to install it. 
I should do many work before install that though

I've interested about a diesel engine! Probably it would be better fuel economy than gas ones.
We have a lot of Isuzu over here. However I think engine swap needs to pass hard inspection in Japan. It might make meannoying.

Is it just me, or should we give Yuki a hall pass for trying to post in English?
Trust me, Yuki's use of english is a far better than I've seen on this forum, posted by "english speaking" Americans. What with "my breaks gave out", or "prololy" instead of probably.....the list is endless.
At least I can fathom what Yuki is trying to say... 
All I know is Yuki is doing just swell; keep it up Yuki!
Cheers
Sidekick Tony

Yuki is doing a great job in my opinion. He is moving right along. I get motivation through his accomplishments.
When I get done with all the family and holiday travel I plan to follow his example.

What Alan needs to realize here is Yuki is using translator software. With that in mind I'm extremely impressed with Yuki's posts.

Hi ALANSD,
Thank you for the message and revising my sentence.
English is difficult..
But I want to improve my English.
So I'm learning that from other threads and this thread.
Fortunately lots of kindly Airstreamers give message to me! 
Definitely, I need a teacher of English and mechanic.

Hi Brad,
Thank you for the encouragement!
Yes, I'm using Google translate often. I guess it gives not good sentences sometimes to me.
Anyway, I have to learn basic grammars!

Yea, the grammar needs work, but you're coming across perfectly understandable to me
The English language conjugates somewhat randomly and unpredictably, and our use of "s" on the end of words (or lack thereof) can be quite confusing
My wife specialized in teaching English as a secondary language

Hi Magnet18,
I study English grammar sometimes, but that makes me feel sleepy.
An article makes me confuse every time. I'm meaning "a" and "the". Moreover "s" as well.
Anyway, I hope the argosy and my English will get better!

A little update.
Turn signal lights have arrived from Mexico.
I bought it with ebay.
The seller said "Driver Quality, IF YOU WANT THESE FOR A 100% RESTORATION YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY"
Umm, maybe I agree. But that would be O.K.
The lens shape seems to be similar.
Upper : The Mexican reproduction product
Middle : The original
Bottom : 1967 1968 Chevy pick-up truck
(I made a mistake. That looks like similar, but a little bit bigger than the original  )
And "SAE" ratcheting box wrenches arrived too.
I'm using with inch tools instead of metric ones recently.
These days, It became easy to buy somethings from foreign country.

Yuki, this is the correct front turn signal light that you need. He only has one for sale however I have a new spare identical to it that I'm willing to part with.

Hi Brad,
Thank you for the information.
I couldn't find the proper front turn signal light. 
I should have asked you, when buy the reproduction ones..
