OKAY....

A little news. I think I have planned out my exhaust system modifications, in a preliminary way.

I am going to do a custom set of tubes off my headers, under the transmission brace, to a 3" xpipe.

I think with the power upgrade, I've got to go at least to a 3" from 2.5" on the muffler side.

The custom tubes under the brace are going to be a very oval(ed) set of pipes, because the car is so darn low

I am taking a metal art course starting next week, at night school. So after brushing up on my welding skills, I think I can make the pipes look like a work of art LOL

After the x pipe, I am going to probably install some smaller 3" resonators, before the main mufflers, maybe like a low restriction round race muffler.


From there it is all a question mark. If I go to a full 3 link track rear suspension, I am definitely going to need to be custom over the axle. The good part of that, is I can then incorporate a second switchable resonator, in the space left over from removing the leaf springs.

The other good thing about going to 3 link, is I can fit even larger rear tires, quite easily (I think) Probably a 335/35/17 or thereabouts with good clearance.

More soon
