The exhaust is finally completed and is suspended from it's hangers. Never thought I would have so much time into just an exhaust system.

As usual super sano.

Are those resonators behind the flex joints?

Thanks and yes, made by Vibrant. Thought it might quiet it down just a touch more.

I ran the same pypes mufflers on my Chevelle and thought they were perfect, so that's why I'm using them again. You can hear it when you're on the gas but at steady cruise it was nearly silent inside the car. (the turbos certainly help that).

But surprisingly quiet for a straight through muffler.

I've been thinking of running resonators after the axle where you have your mufflers in addition to mufflers in front of the axle to tame the sound some.

Jim you sure are building a top notch car there!! And you seem to be getting a lot done in the summer months, can't wait to see how much gets done over the winter! Where do you get the exhaust tubing from? I need to get some for my center pipe.

Thanks, this is where I buy most of the tubing-

Rick called it! Hmmm,

Friday-

Today-

Maybe I'll work on it tomorrow? Probably nothing picture worthy. In related news Larry from Evod said the wheels are finished and tires are going on. Should have some pics next week once he gets back from the Concours D'Elegance.

Um, I built the 9in center section with OEM take-out 3.50 gears
and a tru-trac. Waiting to hear back from the DSS on a driveshaft.

Oh, my near perfect front and rear glass that I screwed up with welding slag (don't trust poster board for this) is nearly done being resurfaced and polished. There's a couple grand out of the budget due to my mistake
