Glad you got that car too. But without the "X" or "H" pipe, the exhaust fits tighter to the trans cross-member, it is just so much ease to work on the trans,cross-member,and the rest of that stuff remains. I can pull out the trans,on my car without the "X" or "H" pipe on it,with out touching the exhaust system. But a True Turbo Muffler would help. I have True Corvair Turbo's Mufflers on my car and love them. Have fun and good luck with your sbc.
