I want to figure out how a muffler goes on this pipe or whatever,I bought this pipe years ago because it has a cut out on it. The remains of the body work on the 26 I am making a speedster from had the pedal on it so I I need to know it would hook up and what is done to put the muffler on this pipe.It has a strange ridge running down the entire length and has more bends in it than I remember my pipes having on my other T's that I bought new pipes from the venders for.
Any ideas on installing a muffler and how the cut out and lever hook up? I would suppose there is a spring to close the cut out as there is a catch for it on 1 of the bolts.

Your exhaust pipe is original later pipe #4037C with the muffler built in the pipe, that front flange holds the 2 additional muffler shells, and then you need to add the end cap, by inserting a long enough bolt thru a metal cross plate which will extend out those two rectangular openings, and attach large cup washer and then a nut. Just like Ford made 'em. The seam is electric weld seam of the rolled tubing, factory Ford T.

For the cut-out, here is old time method of hook-up.

Wow 10 bucks got me a original Pipe.
Ok, I am thinking I can buy a repop muffler and use the parts on this pipe correct? ecept for the bolt,which i have the cross peice in the pipe to.

If you can gather an original end cap, then Lang's sells the shells only, #4025S should work, saving you $35 over a new muffler w/shells. Or get the whole thing, 4025B, the shells should be good, you only need the 2 outer, the pipe you have is the inner, just don't get the version with the welded ends..

Making the bolt, finding a washer and nut is easy.

Thanks for the help!.

I found the old muffler from my TT that califlowered on me a few years back. I beat and twisted and messed and sure enough, the parts fit right on. I put a longer bolt in the flat peice of metal,a carriage bolt just like was in it,and then installed the parts. That old muffler gives me the end cap I needed. I will order that shell kit next week with my next parts order.
I apprecaite the input.The pipe is installed now and all I will have to do is hold the pipe in place and pull the end cap,put the parts on and reassemble. I put the heat wrap "tape" around the exhaust pipe from the manifold to the cutout,and then from the cut out to the muffler.It is what some folks call header wrap. I know it is not stock but I just feel better protecting the wood floor boards from the heat of the pipe and also any fuel lines.
