I am thinking of running full length headers, about 3 feet of straight 3 inch pipe, then two Hooker Aerochambers that dump right before the axle. Has anyone ever tried this? Does it sound good? Interior resonance? Tone change due to no tail pipes? In short, does this seem like a good plan, or should I leave this to the shadetree mechanics? Thanks.

 

wouldn't that be illegal in some places?

I don't know about legality, but it seems like about half the Mustangs running around here have this setup. Besides legality, what do you think about the idea?

 

sounds good to me, if u have enough ground clearence etc. but its gonna be really loud inside the car, maybe even louder the outside, but it should flow good. id try it

I think it will be a matter of time before something rips them right off.

the definition of hillbilly trash also has the term "the exaust fell off, it sounded good, so I left it off" and anything that mentiones $9 glasspacks.

 

I'd try to incorporate an H-corssover into the system as well. An X would be better, but where the hell would it fit? If your car isn't slammed, it should be ok 90% of the time. (keep your fingers crossed) I have a true dual set up on my car using oval pipe, I dragged my old Borla cat. back a few times. So, I figured what the hell? I might as well have duals.

hey whats up brian??? but anyway man my muffler did fall of my 92 z and yes it did sound better and it even ran better. my car ran 2 tenths faster without the muffler dont ask me how i dont know. so call me hillbilly or whatever i dont care

 

Hey Jeremy, what's up man? I figured by the ID that it had to be you. lol Well, me and you have been tossing around exhaust ideas for months now.....I'm sure you pretty much have it all figured out. It's just a matter of doing it.

yeah brian i have it all ordered. the oval pipe and collecter mufflers. the hardest part is going to be making the h pipe. any suggestions on how to cut the holes in the 2 pipes to join them together? i wish my mig was here so i could have ordered the stainless pipe but o well.

 

Go for it. I heard that for it to be legal, you don't have to have any tailpipes but the exhaust must dump behind the driver's seat. In other words, just before the rear axle would be legal.
