I can't tell, but is it on the Y-pipe side, or the midpipe side?

Advanced Auto carries the Dynomax midpipe for about $75

 

[zblackbeast]

Midpipe... Im going to u-pull-it probably tomorrow soo if theres a SHO ill cit off about 3 inches or so on each side of the joint and use 2 u-bolts to hold it on till i can get someone to weld it...

 

[jthod]

The '93's was rusted in the same place, but the whole section was shot so I bought a new one.

I've got a welder if you can bring the beast down

Don't forget the hood bolts

 

[zblackbeast]

Yea.. i promise. BTW, i havent looked yet so IDK, did you by any chance see how hard it was to get to the other end of the pressure line, where it screws into the rack? im gonna try replacing that first and go from there since i know that needs to be replaced anyway.

 

[jthod]

I didn't even want to look, sorry.

 

[zblackbeast]

Damn... Oh well.. Not a biggy.. Ill just look at that PDF i saved!

 

[zblackbeast]

I ordered the PS line from azone... it is like 28.95... 3 days to get here.. Hopefully thats enough to get the old one off... I swear, if i have to pull the front of that motor off.. Im going to ****....

 

[jthod]

You should be able to rach it with Michaels girly arms.

it is a **** of a lot easier with the intake off. If you want a stock air box, a guy at work has one.

 

[jthod]

A 30" Flowmaster Resonator will be in tomarrow at noon.

Now I need a pair of 40's to go with it, and flowmaster stickers EVERYWHERE!!!

 

[zblackbeast]

AHAHa mike saw that.. he laughed.. Yes, i wouldn't mind a stock airbox. Tonight me and mike are taking his intake manifold off and cleaning it.. If you can remember its dirty as ****...

 

[jthod]

well, 30" it was, Flowmaster 'tis not. I must have misunderstood, but it's just some brand that the guy at the exhaust shop gets from his supplier.

Either way this M-Fer is MASSIVE! It's right about 2x the diameter of the stock resonator, and built totally different inside.

I got everthing welded together tonight and took it out for a drive. Now I DEFFINITLY need different mufflers. I can barely her the thing! Not that it was loud before, the exhaust is all stock. At least it doesn't sound like a VTACK now!

I'll try and post a few pics tomarrow

 

[jthod]

(the stock one is just a tube with holes drilled in it, rather than bent 'scoops')


Like I said, MASSIVE!

It's acutally quieter than a few of the brand new cars I've driven at work.

I think I'm going to experiment with some el cheapo mufflers, and see if I find something I like. I'm afraid it has quieted it down too much for the Flowmaster 40's to sound like they should.

I might just yank off the stock mufflers and see how it sounds that way.

 

[NebraskaSHO]

Holy mother of pearl that's big.

 

[jthod]

Paul, you thought it was quiet before, wait until you (can't) hear it now!

 

[zblackbeast]

that is huge!! haha, i think we should have a sound competition!! glad you got that SOB running right!

 

[jthod]

yeah, and it's satying that way too!!

With that big mother on there, I might not even need mufflers!
