It sure does sound like it's another "bad belt" on your washer because once they get a "glaze" on them,they tend to squeak.
Is it a side by side,or I think it's a "stack" unit,,and your right,,I do love the older,original Maytags!

Pipes installed,,love the look and the sound isn't as loud as I thought it would be.
Very pleased.
yeah, good lookin' pipes, for sure!!!!!!
Congrat's! They do capture that look don't they! Hope you enjoy'em!
I must say that's a badder 32 now for sure. You now can enjoy the sounds of horse power, sweet heart thumping vibrations. Very nice touch.....
Thanks for the kind words Guys!!!
lookin good glad you got them. I for one would love to hear that baby especially the Blower whine. hint hint :-)
enjoy that fine work of art
I noticed that you have no support at the end of the pipe. Are you not afraid that it will crack at the collector?
When I had side pipes on my '29 roadster, the vibration from the motion of the collector eventually cracked two pipes. So when I got another set to replace them, I added a bracket on the inside of each collector for a muffler hanger that attached to the frame. My collectors fit closer to the frame than yours do so you really had to look to see it. Hopefully, you will not have the cracking issue I had. It is one of the downsides of running these kinds of headers.
I would want to have a support running from the frame to the end of the side pipe too as that is a lot of weight hanging from those small header bolts. I know to have something welded to the underneath side of the pipe will burn a small amount of chrome but if done carefully and then covered with a good zinc based paint,it shouldn't show or affect the overall look. What I can't understand is why don't the manufactures have a mounting included in the side pipes before chrome plating or coating so then the buyer has a choice of running it supported or not. We here in NZ tend to drive our cars and that means long distances so we put a lot of stress on parts of our cars that the normal trailer queen would know about. Oh I can see some burnt legs happening too on those pipes without doubt now.
I got to tell ya, I have 30K and 12 years on the side pipes I run. The coupe has a stroker motor with a cam that rocks the car at 900 rpms. To date no crakes, I did remove them and recoated the header and pipes once.
I can push on it with my foot and it's pretty stable for now but if it ever get's loose,a brace will definitely be made.Quote:

I have a Bud that had a 32 with side pipes and he beat on it quite a bit and never had any problems with crack's either. the engine did some rocking with the cam also. I never knew of any burns either but he was in his mid 70"s so I guess he had the experience not to touch things when they were HOT.
he has sold it now but here is a link for it with a video if you would like to check it out 1bad32HTML Code:http://www.streetsideclassics.com/showcar.php/atl/242/1932-Ford-5-Window-Coupe
