What tailpipe is that? The one i have fits like ass and is one piece.

Stinger is selling 3-Inch tailpipes now (I think $90 Shipped) so I bought everything (minus the tip) from him. They seem to be selling like hotcakes. I was on backorder for about a week. I think I am going to get a couple ball-n-socket connectors to keep it... removable friendly.

EDIT: Where did you come from Chuck? :D

I fear you underestimate the sneakness.... ;)

I'll be getting a tail pipe from him as well in the not too distant future.  Now I'm just trying to find a couple old Mustang tailpipes with the stainless tips to build my twin tip....


EDIT - You went with the passenger exit didn't you?

Yep, passenger side.

I kno wi sound dumb here, but what is the difference between pass and driver side exit? Just where the tailpipe/tip comes out? Or am I missing some 2.3T detail here?

Ok,  I'll be nice.....;)

You can either route the exhaust down the driver or pass side of the car.  "Normally" on the 2.3T single it routes over to the driver side from the passenger side (Where the stock turbo outlet is).  This routes everything just down the pass side and out a pass side tail pipe instead of a driver side one.

Dont sell if you do anything put it up like i did. I still catch myself wanting to drive the 87 again and kind of regretting buying the 99.

 
i dont seem to remember...why did you get the 99? just as a daily driver so the 87 doesnt deteriorate anymore?

Im very close to ordering the tailpipe, and a tip i found on summit (100 shipped for the tip...i have expensive taste), but im curious to know how it works out for you.

You have an ETA on when the exhaust will be on?
It's Gumby's fault.

Sometime after next weekend... hopefully. I don't think the exhaust shop would like welding up an exhaust near a leaky gas tank.

One of the few engine parts I will buy. I don't know why, but I have never really been that big on modifying my engines.

Just picked up a couple of 18x9 Bullitts for dirt cheap. I couldn't believe nobody wanted them. They where curbed but otherwise look ok.

Got all of my exhaust parts, got my ported E6 last week. Can't wait to get the whole setup installed. :D


Couple cheap gauges I picked up from eBay. They better work!


The following item has been so elusive for me. I have placed an order before and it never showed. I ended up having to cancel it after my 88TC was diagnosed with some serious cancer. But now it's finally in my hands and I can't wait to abuse it. xD


Look ma! no gas... on the ground. New gas tank!!! I need to paint it though... it's ugly.

How much for just the 18's w/ Yokohama's. Ah, nevermind your far away.
