1967 Toronado Exhaust Tips
I just purchased a left-side 1965 -1970 Starfire Dual Exhaust Manifold from Thornton.
I spoke with Troy Thornton yesterday and thanked him for making these reproductions.  http://gawain.membrane.com/~thornton..._manifold.html I'm considering installing 1967 Toronado Exhaust Tips on my 67 - 88 Custom Holiday Coupe. My question to you is... What size are these tips from Fusick? I'm planning on using 2 1/2 inch pipe.  Also... x-pipe or no x-pipe? I'm thinking no x-pipe. Thanks in advance, Jaybird

Something to consider is that the Toronado extensions are designed to fit OVER the tailpipes and not weld or attach to them. The extensions attach to the hanger, then there's a set screw that attaches the inner tailpipe to the outer extension. I'm not sure if Fusick's reproductions have the hole for the setscrew; been a while since I looked at one.
Your muffler guy probably has some nice chrome or stainless tips that can duplicate the Toro tips' appearance and weld onto your tailpipes. But I gotta say that big duals on a big car look the most menacing when they turn down in factory location and are just barely visible under the bumper. Has an "I mean business" look. X-pipe is your call. They do improve exhaust scavenging some.

Custom 1969 Toro exhaust tips
I was just looking at your post and thought you might like to see these exhaust tips. These are stainless Meggs rolled in at the edges and are a wider oval. The 1969 Toro these are on had it's bumper modified into dual cutouts to fit the tips exactly. They have a very custom look, but also look like they belong on the car. The oval openings of the tips are about 4" across and the pipe is 2-1/2".
Very nice looking on this car ! |

If I remember correctly the Toronado exhaust fits in a channel between the frame and floor panels. X pipe would be tough to do. I know the transverse muffler is a pseudo x pipe but a poor substitute

It's not going on a Toronado. It's going on a 67 Delta Custom which has the head pipes running parallel to the driveshaft.
