Im Back!!!

Well, after a fire, New transmission, taking out my woofers, and buying a completely new one, I broke down and sold the My WhiteyThunderchicken everyone saw on Cardomain. :/ But! I have my other car and it has proven to be VERY dependable. so its now going to be my new high school project. Just for future references, although ill never get used to column AOD, the digital gauges kinda grew on me :) So Keep an eye on "Strictly Business" on CarDomain.com guys. the main thing that ill be doing next tuesday is getting true duals, with 12" glass packs that dump just before the rear axel... i hope that will be loud enough for the local police. I have A LOT of ideas to go in many directions with this car but I'd be glad to get an input from anyone that thinks a cheap-ish mod. would make it look better. But i got on to say im back and cant wait to see you guys at a car show someday.:D

Don't listen to them. We took my son's 87 to one shop and they said 2 1/4" was the max that would fit. We took it to another shop and they said they could do 2 1/2".  So, we had them install a full 2 1/2" system from the collectors, thru an X-pipe to the Dynamax bullets over the rear end and out the back. It sounds awesome!! Shop around and don't compromise. You'll be happier in the long run.

well shopping around sucks when there is only two shops, and the other told me that they wouldnt do ANY 2 1/2 at all. I was like whatever. but it shouldnt matter unless its parked running right guys?

Well, if they won't do what YOU want done, then go somewhere else.

There's surely a place that'll do 2.5" pipes...might have to go to another town though...

I have a full 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust for a 5.0 Mustang under my T-bird. I just had to add a bit of pipe between the H-pipe and the lers as well as adding some tips to the tail pipes so they reached the bumper.
