I'm the one who sold you the exhaust!!  It was available through JC Whitney in the 60s, kind of an Empi copy.  That is a cool exhaust dude.

It's the original blue color, yes.  I bought it from the original owner!  He had it on a 36hp Bug back in the 60's that he drag raced.

Glad to see you are getting good use out of it!  How does it sound!
