that exhaust is prolly gonna sound decent, like a dynomouth.
Compared to how a cherry bomb looks inside I have a feeling this things gonna scream! I can't wait. As of Monday eve. Still no headers. Should be here tomorrow or wed. I also had one of the manifold bolts break when trying to remove the driver side exhaust manifold. Gonna be fun getting it out! Soaking now in pb blast! I think it may have been jb welded together to begin with cuz I hardly even touched the bolt and it snapped right off
Attachment 27292Attachment 27293Well I finally got a whale tail! just painted it quickly along with the back bumper was a tad banged up, so I took care of that. Also got all the parts for this stage of the build! Down to just a small shopping list of stuff to get.
Attachment 27294Attachment 27295Attachment 27296It looks so much nicer with the highrise on there, I need to get the formula out of my way so I can get this thing out of the garage and get some better pics of how this car is coming along!
Attachment 27297Attachment 27298Attachment 27299Hood still needs finishing but I got a good deal on it along with the hatch so thats cool. I wanna learn how to do fiberglass body parts anyways so good place to start.
Attachment 27302Attachment 27303Attachment 27304Attachment 27305Attachment 27306Heres some shots of the longtubes and y. Tucks up nicely but it also rests on the metal heat shield right on the passenger side where the tubes make their 90* to start going backward. Hopefully it don't rattle. Pacesetter also already has there Y dented in for the drivers side where the frame comes across a bit, and the fuel lines and stuff are here. I think I'm going to put some heat tape on the Y right there so its not heating the fuel up as its on its way to the engine. I also had to lower the rear of the trans so I could get the Y onto the collector on the drivers side. As I was reinstalling the trans crossmember to the car It stripped the bolts going into the frame rail! So I'm gonna try and hopefully just step up a size in bolt and run a tap in and put the bigger bolt in. Fingers crossed, I'm not sure tho but I think they are just little nuts up inside the frame so I may not be able to rethread anything. Any suggestions??
Its looking good bro!!

Thanks Larry! I was thinking that myself. I just got the light for the spoiler over the weekend. We were out of town for a few days and I been taking a little vacation since I been kicking this cars ass, I was taking it easy. But today or tommorrow I'm back to it. I cant wait to hear this thing thru this new exhaust! I also picked up new coolant temp sensor since I broke that when I pulled the manifold. And a new Oil pressure sensor, broke that one pulling the engine. I still need to grab new o2 sensors. The headers are in and just need torqued down. And a little more fabbing on this exhaust to get it where I like it, but she should be ready to go soon as this weather gets a little nicer!
