Exhaust Front Pipe compatible years

[dmartin05]

Doing a frame-off restore of a '75 CJ5 , AMC 232 i6 -6. Can't find a new front pipe for that year anywhere. What years, before and after are compatible with that year for that part? If not, any suggestions how to get one? 1975 is a VERY funky year for replacement parts.

Why not try a muffler shop?

If you are talking about the 'downpipe' from the exhaust manifold, this is you best choice.

I went to NAPA, you'd be surprised at the amount of muffler pipe that they carry. And, if I remember correctly, NAPA can order the stuff they don't have, like for me, I needed the pipe without a catalytic converter, so it's longer than the one with a cat, it took them a couple days, but it fit perfect.

Did as you suggested with local shop in Oakhurst... voila... he'll put the whole thing together for much less than I expected. Thanks for the tip!
