The following images are intended to help clarify the differences in the exhaust hanger mounts.
<b>The first three images show the rear exhaust hanger locations that were used for all three K code exhaust systems:</b> transverse duals with turndowns, Arvinode with turndowns or GT trumpets, and straight through duals with turndowns or GT trumpets.
<b>The last two show the front hanger reinforcing plate that was used on all dual exhaust cars, GT and non-GT</b>: the images are a 65 K code with the dual exhaust floor reinforcing plate compared to a 65 C code wihtout dual exhaust reinforcement.
<b>NON-GT CARS PRIOR TO 3/22/65:</b>
Up to 10/15/64 the cars were equipped with transverse duals. From 10/15/64 to <i>approximately</i> 3/22/65 the same mounting points were used with different hangers for the Arvinode systems. Some very early GT cars were equipped with Arvinode systems with trumpets. Hangers were fastened to the frame rail with 5/16 NC bolts.

<b>NON-GT AND GT CARS FROM 3/22/65:</b>
From 3/22/65 the cars were equipped with straight through duals and the exhaust hanger locations were moved toward the rear. Non-GT cars would have turndowns and GT cars would have trumpets. Hangers were fastened to the frame rail with 5/16 NC bolts and nuts.
