Wow! That's 29 years of chop and weld. Like rings on a tree. Share photos of new system when installed.

It should arrive on Wednesday... and I hope I can have it in my this next Saturday... Going to attempt getting it in enough to be able to drive it over to the shop to get it welded up.... or else its open headers for 6 miles...

BTW... Anyone know if that would hurt anything if I had to drive it that way? Of course driving very easy....

Default Re: Ugly Exhaust

Arrived today on schedule. Man, I guess Im not used to the 3" pipe... it looks huge compared to what I had on there...

Couple observations...

So it seems like the front hangers with the springs will become useless with the 3" pipe... The pipes are too wide for the spring hangers to actually work... or at least it seems to look that way.

The rears might work... Im not sure yet.

I have it mocked up and plan to buy a couple of sections of flex exhaust pipe to attach the new system to the headres, just to get it to the shop....

If I werent able to make that work, is driving about 5-6 miles with open headers going to hurt anything aside from my ears??

Hers a few pics...

Now that looks A WHOLE lot better As far as running just on the headers for a few miles, I would think you would be just fine. It would be the same as having cutouts right after the headers right?
