Cool picture. I can see it's a 327, dual exhaust and a powerglide.

I wonder if you had to get a 300 horse to get the duals, or if you could order it on either one of the 327's.

 .......both 250 and 300 had dual exhaust.........the 250 dual exhaust exited behind the rear wheel and the

300 exited at the extreme rear corner just under the bumper (same for Pontiac and Chev) .........

I was an apprentice mechanic on these cars, 18 years old and noticed every little difference,

buddy in East End Toronto had a red/red 63 Impala 300 and his exhaust exited at the tip of the rear bumpers.....

....HOWEVER - all 409 cars (Pontiac and Chev)  exited behind the rear wheel

Good info!!!

Does this make it a 300 H.P.?? It looks like the tail pipe is yet to be installed?? Old eyes.

Thanks

It has a tailpipe exiting just behind the rear wheel, the tip is kind of pointing toward you. The exiting under the bumper would have just had a very mild turndown, not straight out the back with the tips point straight back and level.

 .....Hey Don

pretty sure that is a straight pipe waiting it's extension piece to the rear hence a 300 hp car....

....250 hp cars had the pipe turn down considerably at the rear wheel and were one piece from the muffler.........

if you blow the pic up you can see a reduced end ready to accept an extension and on the rear of the frame may be

a hanger bracket

It looks like many duals had resonators in the tail pipe.

I agree that the 63 Chev is one of the sweetest looking cars ever, especially the grand Impala.
