Hello again-
For those not familiar with the 55 IMP exhaust pods-yes, the pipes run
through the exhaust. A major engineering boo-boo that quickly caused corrosion
from hot gases combined with moisture. The pods looked great-a beautiful
treatment for the problem of unsightly exhaust pipes, which are always black and
ugly(except on trailer queens!)
I ran new pipes all the way through the pods years ago, so the exhaust came
out past the chrome work. However, it was too late. The bottoms of the pods have
rusted out. They are of heavy steel, perhaps a skilled welder could repair them
before re-chroming. I have never found anyone who could, nor have I ever found a
usable pair anywhere. I have owned my IMP for almost thirty years-and have given
up finding a solution.
Ma Mopar quickly returned to the standard two-pipe-out-the-back exhaust in
56. I think some Cads had the same set-up in the 50's also- 54=-56? but not
sure-
