I would get a FLowmaster, I think that they have the best sound and 
performance.

  I am planning on putting a new exhaust system on my truck. It is a '52 
  3100 with a '54 235. I have a stock rochester and stock exhaust 
  manifold.

  I plan on replacing the heat riser which is looks completely 
  inoperative, having a new pipe bent, and getting a glass pack put in. 
  My current exhaust system is a complete piece of junk with numerous 
  rust holes, and ends just beyond the back of the cab.

  My questions are:

  Where do I source the exhaust header to pipe gaskets for this engine 
  and is there anything to avoid here (incorrect types of gaskets, etc)?

  Do I try to find hangers, or is that something the muffler shop will 
  take care of? Current my exhaust is held on by none other than coat 
  hanger wire.

  I would like a nice warm note (sound) from the exhaust while getting 
  the best performance from a stock setup. I plan on eventually going to 
  a Carter YF carb setup as I hear they are less leaky and more reliable 
  than the rochester (which leaks a bit and stumbles on acceleration now 
  and then). Is a glass pack a good option?

  How far back should I put the glass pack? I think I have a heat shield 
  around somewhere that isn't installed that I believe goes under the bed 
  somewhere. How far back does the glass pack go, and do I run the 
  exhaust all the way to the rear bumper?

  Thanks

  Albion
