The TBI pipe looks a lot worse than it is. The only reason there are any marks in the lip is because I was hittin' it with a claw hammer to knock of any scale/flake that had built in that area.
I'm basically hoping that I can find some type of flanged 'reducer' or flanged "donut" that will allow thes 2 systems to be joined quick and easy. If I get a couple years out of the TBI pipe - that's all I could hope for.
A New IROC intermedaite pipe is about $55 and another $8 would buy a reducer "off the shelf" to the stock TBI muffler ( It's got about 3-4 years left in it. ) If I gotta' weld I'd rather weld where I have better access, so like I said - I'm just hoping to get lucky !
I got a pretty good tip today from a buddy about a buisiness called 'Pipe Dreams" that supplies a lot of muffler shops with specialty stuff. My fingers are crossed !! Please keep the ideas coming !
