Ford Thunderbird Starting in the 1950s, this was a classic American sports cars, from the compact original of the 1950s, to the muscular hard top coupes of the 1980s and 1990s to the retro look of the 2003 model year, this car is, and always will be, an American classic.

Default 79 tbird exhaust

Last year my Y pipe fell off my tbird, I would like to run duel's instead of a single pipe. Has anyone ran duel exhaust from the cats or are headers the best way to go. If headers the option what type will fit? I still have the stock 302 in the car.

Thanks

With your car being the last of the big body birds and a 302, there should be plenty of room for a set of equal length headers for a fox body mustang. Then just have new exhaust ran from headers to bumper but don't forget to have an h-pipe x-pipe installed as it will produce some extra power! I had a silver 79 bird with red interior and top with floor shift auto and buckets and a 400 ci It was a neat car! I had dual glass packs on it. It wasn't fast but it sure was a nice cruiser that sounded great! It had dual cats on it. One car that comes to mind that will be a great cross reference is the crown vic with dual exhaust as they came that way as a factory option. Especially the police pkg. Any decent exhaust shops can do it! I'm wondering if your car had a dual exhaust option since you could get one with a 400 or 460! Also check the older vehicles like the Ltd of like the early to mid 70s. I can't imagine any hwy patrol cars having a single exhaust. Your birds platform goes pretty much across the board for the big cars like Lincoln and mercury.
