In process '25 Runabout restoration.
I believe this was installed to hold the after market muffler in place. I cannot find it in "Ford Parts Price List". What say y'all?

Re: Muffler Pipe Clamp
You don't want that there. You want the pipe firmly affixed to the exhaust manifold and then clamped to the muffler with a standard, single muffler clamp. Twisting of the frame between the exhaust manifold back to the muffler is accounted for by the flexible, single tab at the back end of the original style muffler, holding it to the frame.
Using the clamp as you show will invite unnecessary trouble.
Nice looking job, BTW.

Re: Muffler Pipe Clamp
No hangers are used for the stock ford exhaust system. Only attachment points are the exhaust manifold pack nut and the muffler to the frame.

Re: Muffler Pipe Clamp
Thanks for the information guys. I didn't think that clamp belonged there.

Re: Muffler Pipe Clamp
That clamp looks suspiciously like a hose clamp.

Re: Muffler Pipe Clamp
Lee, your car would have had an exhaust pipe which went clear to the back of the muffler. This makes the pipe itself an internal baffle. Most reproduction mufflers are made with their own internal baffles and a slip joint at the front to take the exhaust pipe. On the eralier cast iron ended mufflers the pipe simply pushed into the casting and the joint remained free to move with any frame flexing. The same can be done with later repro mufflers if the slip joint is up to it. Otherwise, a clamp will make it a solid unit and any flexing will be absorbed by the bracket at the back of the muffler, just as the standard Ford system worked.
Hope this helps.
