Does anyone know where a person can get an exhaust flapper for my 64?
Its exhaust is only 2 3/8" os dia. I can find 3" and larger, but no luck on a smaller one.. I do have a homemade one on for now, (made from a neoprene pipe cap).. but Im not crazy about the look.. Any help? |

I put 3" on my '66 Mustang. Just pinch them tight with hose clamps. You could cut a notch out so it will squeeze in smaller. Mine have very small ripples.

smallest you can get is 3 in. just cut half inch out of bottom of rubber, anymore and they
wont stay on no matter how much you tighten them down...from experience. |

Steve if you cann't find the correct size I would just cut the ring section of the rubber in the center lower section and then over lap the two pieces then take a razor blade and make one cut throught both and remove the ends so that when the clamp is tightened they but up together and look like a continous ring without a gap if you are forced to use the 3" versions. What hose ID are you using?
