My 67 CJ5 build

My lower hose on the right didn't start straight it was pre bent from Walcks. Not saying its right but it didn't start out straight

 

Bypass hose on.



If you're using these spring clamps l highly recommended buying the pliers for them,

 

According to my haynes jeep manual , all steel lines within 4 inches of the exhaust system. no rubber!

 

I am going to use steel within 4 inches of exhaust system . i have a tank under the driver seat as much as i can in the frame rail

 

After 30 years she runs again. I ordered the exhaust system from waldrons so once that comes in I will run her at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes and do the break in. I didn't want to let it idle too long before doing that

 

That sounds GREAT!!

 

Wladrons exhaust kit came in. Fit perfect.

 

I like it, but I'm troubled that the tail pipe doesn't seem to extend past the rear tail panel.

 

It extends slightly passed the rear crossmember just doesn't show well at that angle. Dont have a good picture of it

 

John: Here is a shot from the factory illustration supplement. It should answer both of your questions: 1. Which way does the muffler go?; and 2. The make-up of the tailpipe hanger.

 

Perfect thank you. Now I need to figure out how to duplicate it :-/

 

Let me know what you figure out, as I will (an probably many others) need the same thing.

 

Knipex is goood stuff.

 

Hey John,

Have you taken any video with the waldron exhaust on? I'm curious to see how it sounds as I'm looking into that system myself.

 

I'm firing her up tomorrow. I'll post a video of it

 

She fired right up and purred like a kitten. I ran it at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes for the break in and it performed perfectly. Sounds loud on video but it was pretty quiet, no tapping or knocking. Only 2 issues, rebuilt alternator was not charging so I took that off and took it back to get checked and I found my oil pan has a pin hole in it. Probably from sand blasting it so I need to find another one of those, but pretty happy with the results

 

This is what I came up with for the tail pipe hanger. Found a nos hanger and 2"strap clamp. I just need to clean them up and make the 90 degree bracket that fastens to the crossmember

 

Looking good, in the early stages of restoring my 1970 cj5 dauntless. I live fairly close to you, can you recommend the machine shop you used?
