My Exhaust so far... Now has tips!

[boat]

I thought I would share with all of you some pics of the progress of my catback exhaust setup of 2 Thrush welded mufflers and my Magnaflow 5" round for the resonator with 14 gauge 2.5" pipe:

These are what I am using for tips (now on back order until the 10th of Oct.)

It sounds pretty nice, has a nice low rumble at idle, pretty smooth at cruising rpms, when I mash the pedal it makes a statement. Zero rasp! It feels like I gained some bottom end torque back. The old muffs had some serious holes in them. I know there are lots of pics, just got a new camera, tryin it out! :woo-hoo:

[Kens1992mtxSHO]

And it doesn't sound to bad. At high reving either. lol diving aound town isn't bad. How ever it sounds better than it did.

What about the "Y" pipe?
What kind do you have?
I have a similar set up!! but i have a 3" catless "Y" with Flow's !!

I haven't done anything with the y-pipe yet. I wonder how much it would change the sound, or for that matter, the bottom end torque? If I did go with a new y-pipe, I would probably go w/ATX catted, when I do get one.

Sound clips coming soon...

Looks pretty good. I think I'm diggin the split at the back of the car.

 

[kikkinasphalt]

Im diggin that rear y.

giggidy giggidy goo

 

[jthod]

I was thinking of doing something similar for the rear y, but that certainly help with thw visual!

I was also going to make my own piping, but instead of having it bent, I was going to use mandrel bent J's and U's and weld everything together.

My catless y pipe will be made the same way

 

[SuperHO]

Wanna make me one?

 

[expy916]

Were the pipes bent at a shop?, if so, how much?

 

[jthod]

Wanna make me one?

yes I do

 

[syP]

althought im not a fan of the Crush bends... i think it looks sick otherwise!



My only question is...


in this picture http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o385/boat95sho/2008_01010004.jpg

when the suspension hits a bump, will it hit the pipe?

 

[jthod]

It looks like he's got enough room there, it looks like he's got about 1 1/2" - 2" of room on the Drivers side of the Y, which would make about 4-5" of tire movement. Even if it were to hit it, the hanger should have plenty of play too.

 

[bubba]

It's not if he hits a bump in the road. It's replacing the fuel pump lol:woo-hoo::wave:

I told you that you would like them Mike... good to see that you are getting it done...

 

[Eric VerValin]

LOL Now I see what your talkin about.. yea he did get that pipe a little close there.. I'll give you a call later on today and see if you got that tank dropped outta there.. Thats definately something I would want to keep in mind when building an exhaust around it. Looks good tho, and when you get that pump swapped out, I'll help ya get a video clip of it.

P.S. I told u you would need those bolts / clips for the straps......
