1971 383 Charger Exhaust

[dart4forte]

just bought a 71 SE and found that the exhaust has magnum manifolds with a single exhaust. It apperas to be a stock. Was that common? Seems pretty strange. It appears that the exhaust has been changed.

dart4forte,

Generarly the 383 performance  N code cars had dual exhaust with the high performance manifolds....

What is your VIN it should have an N in it.

Also, if the car still have the fender tag it should have the info on what exhuast you should have as well.

My exhaust code is N41 for dual exhaust without tips.
