I started to clean up my Flowmaster muffler. For ground clearance purposes, I am using the Delta Force Low Profile dual in dual out. These will also act as the crossover. In order to quiet down the exhaust, I will also be using resonators at the rear of the car.

The only problem with the Delta Force is they have 3 1/2 oval inlets and outlets. In order to make them work with my 3" round tubes, I had to make some transitions. I also cleaned up all the factory welds. I am not quite finished but it's almost done.

Here is some before pics of the muffler...




Here are the transitions I am making using the existing 3" round tubes. I am using a 20 ton press to expand eich piece one half inch and the I clamped them in a vice to get the oval shape.








And here is the almost finished muffler, it will later be jet hot coated black...

Just got back with a little something from SPD Exhaust. This is the 304 stainless that will make up the one-off headers which are being fabricated in house by Dominator Street Rods.
