Re: [FWDLK] exhaust pod "guts" for 57 DeSoto



Hi Ed,

I would like to suggest another solution which may keep your
exhaust outlets in the bumper looking good for a much longer
time. This has worked well on my 57 Dodges with the
extensions on the bumper and has worked well for friends of
mine with 55 T Birds. I am sure others have done something
similar.

Run your exhaust tail pipes to the rear as you normally
would except terminate them short of the bumper. Have a
curved down section formed for the last foot or so, attach
to the tail pipes and dump the exhaust below the bumper and
out of sight (instead of going through the chrome
extensions).

This will keep your bumper looking new without the
discoloration and inevitable rust that will occur otherwise.
