DIY exhaust June 18, 2018, 08:20:09 AM this weekend the oldest boy is in to install various parts to replace his exhaust that came with the car when we bought it from Privateer member here..2 1/2'' pass side ready to be mated to a store bought 2 1/2'' axle pre-bent pipe.we need to repeat this layout on the drivers sideget everything hung and then mark for the H pipe just a little bit to the rear of the trans mount.add qty 2 bungs for O2 sensors on the pass or driver side.add qty 1 bung for the other side.this allows for a future wide band 02 when the eec is chipped.all welds need cleaned up but so far its seems to be going ok.the cats are fake.apparently in VA his old "turbo chambered" lers were not legal, yet this fiberglass cherry bomb design is!

DIY exhaust Reply #7 – July 27, 2018, 12:24:21 PM Is the EMT pipe coated in some way (i.e. aluminized inside and out)? If not it'll probably rust through pretty quick Quote Selected
