Y Block Ram Horn front exhaust pipes

I've installed Ram Horns on my 56 with a 292 & C4 (& Toyota power steering box). I'm wondering how to hook up my exhaust. I am specifically looking for the front pipes. Anybody have a source or part numbers? Once I get the pipes headed to the rear of the truck I'm pretty sure I can use a universal kit to complete my exhaust.



Drivers side



Passenger side

I could never afford Ram Horns so no help here. They sure are pretty. I would suspect a custom build. My last build, I used a universal kit and welded them up.

I'm not sure if the first pipe goes into the ram horn a bit or not. My old crossover set up did. It also dumps sort of toward the engine. I see them all the time but I just got mine so I never asked how the ones I saw were done.

Thanks Abe, I did talk to him. He said he doesn't know much about anything after the Ram Horns.

Kevin, Bigwin56 should know how they fit. If I remember right, I saw ram horns on his panel.

Late to the show....... yes I have rams on everything. I used the flanges from the exit pipe on the pass side. One time I used the flanges from the cross over but the pipe size was small.
It's been so long that now that I'm thinking about it I don't really remember which worked best

When I use the flange I use what I can of the exhaust pipe 2-3" so the exhaust shop has something to weld to

Dunno,
I've got Ford rams horns on my '55 f100, looks like the same set up you have. I don't remember any problem, but it's been about ten years.

I ordered the flanges directly from John Mummert who makes the horns. I did not figure there would be an easy bolt on to get from the horns down to the under carriage, so, I plan on just taking the flanges to the exhaust shop and having them bed up whatever I need. Let us know if you find a magic solution that just bolts on.

Still nothing magic yet but I now know where I can get the flanges Went to our NAPA and a independent parts store that I knew had catalogs but neither had anything that covered a 64 F600 (Latest Year that came stock with Ram Horns).
