    buickbonehead WOT Baby!

    Is the muffler setup correct on this Wildcat? I'm guessing it is a single exhaust setup. I've never seen one with the muffler running lateral like that. But then my brain is fried into 65's. I think thats the way the Rivi's are? :Do No:

    Nice car. Wish there was a better picture of that aftermarket A/C compressor mount.

    not really, that looks like a single pipe cross flow which would be a LeSabre item, though probably pirated off of a '63 which was the last year for LeSabre nailheads in the non-wagons. I think I have a picture of the muffler off of my '64 Riviera which shares the X-frame and the dual exhaustes and I'll check my factory to double check.

    My 64 dual quad Cat has a lateral cross flow with single inlet and dual outlets.

    Wow that sucks... ya'll have a single front to rear pipe and a crossover behind the centerlink?

    That looks like the correct layout for single exhaust, which was standard. The muffler looks to be a universal type, shorter than the original. If equiped with dual exhaust it would have a "crossflow" muffler similar to 63-65 Riv's.
