Convert your flathead Mercury to a dual exhaust with Waldron’s Dual Conversion Kits! This dual conversion kit bolts directly to the stock manifolds (only).

Back in 2021 Patrick from Nova Scotia, with a 1947 Mercury and flathead V8, emailed us to say this about the dual conversion with glasspacks we built for him “A perfect fit and awesome sound. Please pass along my thinks to the craftsman who made it. Many thanks to all.”
