Glad to see another early Dodge build. Really nice job on the exhaust it takes a lot of time and attention to detail to to do a nice job like that. I worked in a muffler shop for 25 years so have a little experience. One thing you have to account for is expansion in the system, the exhaust on my 28 Dodge grows 1/2" in length on the highway my tail pipes are 1/8"behind the diff when cold and 5/8 hot. It is important to allow for this in your hangers so as to not causes problem up the pipes. Once again nice job.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I actually ordered the stainless woven flex joints for the exhaust last week. I had similar concerns bouncing in my head that you clearly describe below. Many thanks. I love the advice and comments!
