How to Install a GT exhaust in Your 1966 Mustang

Thanks for the tip on those tie down bracket conversions, for reference I found this part number: Scott Drake GT Exhaust Conversion Frame Bracket Sets C5ZZ-5277-CR

Good job , he showed step by step with details and showed where the new brackets go, unlike some videos that cant even keep the camera straight without any lighting

great vid, doing the same to my 64.5 once it comes back from the shop.

I did this exact upgrade, about 30 years ago.. Added the same stock type dual exhaust mufflers and scored some cool, NOS 65 GT Trumpet tips. It was way too quiet 🤫... Frustrated, I 🤔 thought cutting out the painted stainless louvers would make louder.. It didn't, and what a freaking idiot I was for ruining those tips..I finally swapped in some early gen Flowmasters, it still sounds great.. This set-up, looks awesome 😎, especially from the back, with tips thru the valance, and even better when it's on a lift, with the factory type pipes, brackets and hangers. Though you can barely hear it run, by caparison.. The moral here is, don't use these stock type mufflers, if you like a hot V8 noise. You will regret it !!!!!!

Nice videos my man. Cracked me up when you said the years wrong again lol

Factory duel exhaust came with reinforcements for the area under the back seat where you hang the mufflers. Very important. The back of the floor pan is very thin there, and will tear from the exhaust movement. You can make your own reinforcement plates or order them. Readily available. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LKm1NX9OAc

I think i’m going to do the same thing!

Hello, good content as always. Do you do under dash AC Repair? My 65 needs some attention

Great video. What book are you referencing? Thanks.

Nice job bro, i have hedman's 88300 long tubes , and i think there is no bolt in exhaust system for it 😣

Getting the exhaust to fit through the rear valance is the tricky part that I haven't quite figured out yet! Anyone got any suggestions? The passenger side isn't too bad, but the drivers side is tough!

What heasers and Drake exhaust kit did you use?

What is the part number for those brackets?

Could you list the parts and where you got them from? Would like to do this to my '65. Thank you

Kudos for for not one thrown wrench or cuss fit. I would have had to edit out half of the footage. 😂

Im just going to put turndowns after the muffer. Sounds cooler. Easier to deal with.

I noticed your Mustang has rear seatbelts. I sure would like to talk to you about the locations of the anchors. I am putting them in my 65 but it didn’t have them originally so there are no places marked to drill holes for the anchors. Is there anyway we can discuss that? Jerry

Are the mufflers a two chamber or straight through? I have called three companies that carry the kit and no one can tell me. I wish I could have heard your exhaust rev up. I have MagnaFlows and I do like the sound. I think this might work on my 1966 Fastback. Just installed a 302/347 stroker. Looking for the right sound.

can't find the part numbers

That starter / flywheel engagement sounds awful. Check it out before you do damage. 🤓
