It sounds fantastic!!!! I used a two Dynomax Ultra Flo Welded Mufflers They look like a turbo stile muffler on the outside but if you look through them they look like a glass pack with a straight through design and lots of little perforations in the tubing wall. The result in sound was a great combination of a glasspack and a turbo. You get the low rumble of a turbo but a little more volume and crack like a glasspacks. Of course the x-pipe give me that fantastic nascar sound at higher RPMs so I couldn't be happier with all aspects of the way the old Gal sounds. As a nod to the way Ford designed the original exhaust I used a stainless steel turndown on the end as tips, and placed them in the same approximate location that the OEM exhaust exited the car.

That looks good Daze. You did a very nice job. I did notice that your steering linkage should have "ZERO" rust issues. LOL,LOL,LOL! Don

yah there is a "small" PS leak. I just won a complete PS unit on ebay that was advertised as "leak free" I am just going to replace the drag link/power valve and the ram. That way the rust can begin to take its natural course

Day, what part # of the headers on your Galaxie? IE what was the original application
I have fox shorty headers on mine, but they no longer fit the bill for two reasons. 1) the P heads Im using on the new engine, and 2) the drivers collector runs right through the middle of where the shifter linkage will be. I need one that the collector comes down a bit past the #2 ( the mount is directly under 2) and before 4. (the shifter linkage) I think 87 to 95 F 150 shorties might do the trick. Or Summits universal block huggers.
Been researching for new headers.

There headman headers for a 66 mustang

is it manual or automatic linkage?? when I first had the car set up as an automatic the linkage cleared the headers I am running with no issue. However I doubt the headers I am running would clear the spark plugs on the p heads.

The 87 F 150 headers solved the problem.
A little massaging....some heat sleeves...as a person has to do with almost all headers, should be fine. The passenger side header, Im not sure the exhaust pipe is even going to need modifying at all.
