81-83 Imperials dual exhuast (was..original or NO.)

[Matthew Wappler <family.wappler@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I read the dual exhaust part with interest....How did you manage 
this with the offset gas tank? Did you section the tank? Did you route
it outside the leafs and under the quarters like a Monte CarloSS? Otherwise
it looks too tight to make it happen. I'd love to see pics of how it's
done.
