For what it�s worth, I installed the Flowmaster kit for the El Camino on my 70. I installed it in my driveway and it fit like a dream. The �H� pipe and all pipes are above the frame rails, don�t drag. The two pipes that connect to the headers are adjustable and need to be cut to fit. I used a regular pipe cutter for plumbing pipe, three wheels that role around the pipe to be cut. I used the band type clamps from Dynomax. The system came with all hardware and hangers to install. I substituted the Dynomax clamps for the regular muffler clamps. Other than that you got everything needed to install.
