Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2013: Late Exhaust Pipes

If anyone out there has an answer, I'd like to hear it. First, the late exhaust pipes have a bead just ahead of the muffler, to keep the front muffler end from sliding forward. It appears to me that this bead can't be too large a diameter, or you won't be able to slide the pack nut over it. The late parts books clearly shows there is NO packnut supplied with the long exhaust pipe.
I've had to '25 T's, and have always used original exhaust pipes, and haven't had a problem sliding that pack nut over the bead, although I've had to tap it on an angle over the bead to get it to the front. Comments?

Pipe from the vendors that have received don't have any bead ahead of the muffler.

I mean tail pipes I received from the vendors, Most likely Bob's Antique Auto Parts, did not have the bead.

I had a pipe I used once without the bead to hold the muffler end (got it second hand at a swap meet).
I wrapped a piece of steel wire around it and brazed it in place. Worked fine.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

We all know what we are talking about, but terminology does have its' place. First of all Ford didn't have a tail pipe, they had an exhaust pipe. The early cars had a rear muffler end with an outlet pipe. Whew!

Tail-pipe goes after the muffler. Head-pipe goes before the muffler but after the manifold. I don't know what they call all the pipes on modern cars with four or more catalytic converters and mufflers.
Larry, would I call that six inch little pipe out the back of my '13's muffler a tail-pipe? (I am laughing. I am on your side about the terminology)
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

Larry & Wayne - You fellows make a good point about terminology! There are tappets, valve lifters, cam followers and believe it or not, somewhere I read where Ford has even called them pushrods! As Larry said,...."whew"!
