Did 72/73 Imperials ever come with dual snorkel air cleaners and or HP manifolds?
Also was dual exhaust ever an option?

But, If I went in to order a new Imperial and said I want duals, the Dealer might have been cool with ordering the C-body duals and making me a happy customer along with the dual snorkel air cleaner of the cop car in the back lot.
Remember that '67-'73 Imperials had 127" wheelbases rather than the normal Chrysler wheelbase of 124". "Formal" Imperials shared the 124" wheelbase with Chryslers.

Could you show us the window sticker and fender tag so we can see how they posted this info? Thanks.I can concur with the '68 Imperial having the factory option for the dual snorkel air cleaner and dual exhaust. Mine has these options, and it is reflected in the fender tag and the window sticker...

All Imps had 2.94 standard.Thanks for posting. Are those the regular log type exhaust manifolds? I cannot tell for sure in the photo.
Pretty cool it does not have 2.76 rear end gears.
Yep... standard log manifolds... no HP manifolds ever in an Imperial.
Except ‘68 Patrick. They squeezed in 1 year that you could order a “dual” package as evidenced above.The "D"-body ('64-'66) Imperial convertibles were the only models that had dual exhaust as standard equipment. Imperial coupes and hardtops from at least 1964 and newer were all available only with single exhaust; unless the buyer had some pull, as evidenced by the window sticker above!.
The 1973 Imperial four door hardtop I had was a single-exhaust car. Putting duals on that was a serious PITA, as there was no routing available from the factory; so the routing of the new 2-1/2" set of pipes and the muffler placement proved to be difficult. My muffler guy did a screamin' good job of the installation (this was back in 1997 or so), and the car sounded fantastic. A very low rumble at idle, and a near-perfect tone at 70 mph. Of course, all the sound insulation an Imperial has, helps, too!
