How are the exhaust connector pipes routed under a Lark Type? I know they go under the tranny crossmember on a 1965-66 car but do they go over or under the parking brake cables? I think under but have no pics handy to verify.

I just had mine done... routing is under the x-member, under the brake cables, over the axle and parallel to the gas tank. StudeRich will tell you that OEM outlets tuck up slightly before the bumper prior to being radiused downward

THANKS!
I tried my hand at pipe bending today at work and made it as far as the mufflers; an experienced tech welded everything up and come tomorrow we're going to make up/install the tailpipes. Pipes hang down below the frame but I was referencing off the Parks Pipes supplied Avanti headpipes.--------------------------------------

Nearly every stude I see has fitment problems in regards to the emergency brake cable on the passenger side hitting the exh pipe.

Here is a scan of the chassis parts catalog. Lark is the top one...
I don't think it is much help. Fairly generic (same picture for ALL 59-64 Larks even though there were many differences) and doesn't show the relationship of the exhaust to other under chassis components. PLUS, if you took it as gospel, the exhaust tips come straight out the rear instead of the downturn that was stock.Dick Steinkamp

@Dick: your pic does clearly show the connector pipes going over the parking brake cables. Next time maybe--------------------------------------

This diagram is very generic - even more so for convertibles and sliding roof wagons - the frames with the X member. The "Rear Exhaust Pipes" (0401-1-3 and -4) for convertibles and sliding roof wagons are much shorter than the ones shown, and the mufflers actually fit inside the X member, much farther forward than on other models. The 0403-3, the "Outlet Extension Pipe" then fits between the muffler and the normal location for the connection to the tail pipe, or "Outlet Pipe" in Studebaker language.
