I completely agree with Deane. I am the son of the original owner of my 1956
Dodge Royal Lancer. The car came stock with dual exhaust and 2bbl (I know for
a fact that my Mom or Dad would not have put duals on the car) In fact, when
asking my dad about it when I replace the mufflers, my dad said that the service
guys always said that it was a 57' exhaust on the car (I can't tell you for sure
if this is correct or not). My car was built in November of the model year.
Some food for thought.
