So I finally found a local guy to take on my project. Hack my spare tire well and put my two mufflers on. I know it sticks out more than I wanted but I'm gonna have a custom diffuser made from my old one and it will hide everything better and show less tip. Here's the link. Can't post pics from iPhone but if someone has the time feel free to edit. Thanks. Ryanwillbuyit.tumblr.com

I like it ... Looks super clean... I think the diffusers should make it look 100x better and flush... What kind of mufflers are those?

I think it looks great! I personally like the 14815's better but the job is top notch!

looks good, are the tips of the mufflers staggered a bit or is it an optical illusion?

Thanks after I got the mufflers delivered I kinda wished that I woulda got the 15s cuz they r smaller and woulda fit cutouts better. But I'm happy now w them. I'm very happy w the quality of both jobs.

Yes optical Illusion. That's just the curve of the bumper

still working on diffuser, needs cut n put on. I’m hoping tips don’t stick out too far. I couldn’t put back any further, muffler is pretty long with tips n inlet pipe

If anyone is looking to have this done and willing I drive to just south of Cleveland Ohio I can give u the info. I am thinking of having a few of these boxes made up and a template of where to cut and whoever is doing it it can just cut n weld. The same with the pipes. Night have some made up so it's almost a cat back system. U can just add muffler of ur choice or have it ready to hang after box it all cutout.

is that an x-pipe?

Ryanwillbuyit
06-06-2012, 07:31 AM
That's a good question. I said I wanted an x pipe put on then I mentioned that it'd be nice for both to run independantly but guy said x pipe ballences out exhaust evenly. It was custome made. I'll ask when I'm there tomor morn if it's and open x or 2 individual side by side. My guess is X-pipe

Bricas45
06-06-2012, 07:34 AM
you do not want true independent. You definitely 100% want them connected like an x-pipe. You will have a power loss with true dual. The guy is correct. The set up looks awesome congrats!

Thank you. I hope to get a SC and 3.15 as well. Just hope my motor can handle it. A car this old scares me, I feel I should rebuild everything first.

Bricas45
06-06-2012, 08:07 AM
yes, I agree. I thought my motor was strong...I am currently swapping motors now to a rebuilt one haha after the SC I experienced compression issues causing misfires, and it turned out to be a bad cylinder ring. These motors are rugid and can handle it for sure. Just make sure it is in good health. The 3.15 is awesome I would do that first if I were you. It is a good relatively inexpensive upgrade. If you SC don't be stupid like me and go all custom...just get a kit haha

I deff want to.need a clutch too Don't know what one to get tho

Justin517
07-17-2012, 09:08 AM
absolutely do the clutch before the diff... you need a clutch, you don't need limited slip.

07-17-2012, 09:38 AM
It's just creaks n is annoying. Works fine. I wanna do cdv delete before clutch too

Justin517
07-17-2012, 09:39 AM
mine creaks too, no issues thogh... if it grabs fine then I change my answer... LSD first.
