Is your car up and running/ Last time I saw it you were still working on it? GC

Sadly it looks about the same as it did two years ago.... about ready to just throw all the pieces in a truck and ship it off to Illinois for Marc to play with.... I just can't seem to find the time and energy to make any headway.

Robert,

Aloha and its been awhile.......so glad to hear all is well and thanks for sharing. That looks great and I love those tips on that system too. Keep in touch and don't be a stranger.

Hope that makes sense....

yes it does thanks

I'm with Sammy, I'm out of the game before it even started. Guess I will have to wait for the OBX version to be made,

Dom! Do the exhaust cut outs bypass the cats?

Pete · 02-11-2012

Rick,the exhaust is all business.
No CATS.
Headers,full 3"pipes,X-pipe & mufflers w/dual outlet tips and one of them has the flapper.

Helped Steve get the new fusion exhaust bolted up today. We managed to get in hung but it still needs a little tweaking to get the fit right. Steve had to trim the muffler hangers as they wouldn't clear the tail pipes. The stock hangers leave more gap than we'd like to see between the tail pipes and the rear fascia. They either need further modification or we are going to have to fab up some L brackets with the right length. Here are a few pics. Fusion next to the stock exhaust. Check out how restrictive the stock exhaust is at the resonator.

More tips: The slightly shorter end of the X-Pipe is the front, fits better that way. We followed the fuel lines with both the vacuum and wiring - worked out pretty well.

The vacuum reservoir and switch plate fits nicely behind the license plate but could also be mounted in the left rear bumper (kinda like the charcoal canister at the right rear).

Engine vacuum is obtained by teeing off the brake reservoir.
