1966 Chevelle / SS Exhaust System

he 1966 Chevelle had two different dual exhaust system when GM outfitted these muscle cars. The small block dual exhaust cars received 2 1/2″ head pipes and 2″ tail pipes with resonators welded on. GM accomplished this by welding in a small section to the front left head pipe and swagging down the right. The 1966 with the big 396 used 2 1/2″ head pipes and 2 1/4″ tail pipes.
