My son is at the point in the restoration of his '59 Six Window and needs to get a new exhaust system. Any recommendations on a shop to bend the pipes or order a kit and install it himself. If the kit is the way to go, who has  ordered one and from whom?  If you know of a top notch Shop in the Orlando Area we'd appreciate you sharing that information. Thanks in advance.Bill R.  CLC# 29203

What about the hangers - OEM or aftermarket fits all.
Maybe a SS wrap up front.

Have fun,

G'day Bill,

Not sure just how particular your Son is about the restoration, but when I change any exhaust systems in any car that is not constantly being used, I always go for a complete Stainless Steel system.   Never rust out, and will last the life of the car, or even longer.

The initial cost is high, but well worth it.

Bruce. >:D

PS.   Don't use the cheap thin stuff that creases when bent, as that stuff creates noise.

I used 'aluminized stainless'. After 10 years it still looked like new.
Unfortunately, I never got any pictures of it.

I used Waldron for stainless steel. Fit well and is great 6 years later.
