hooker 2055's, just back from the coating place where they got the black ceramic coating, 3" cat, Ravin 55-series ra594309 3" in/dual 2.5" out, being installed wednesday with a custom 3" stainless I pipe and 2.5" tails... a bit much for my lame 305, but will be just the ticket for the 400 that's in the works.

i'll try to get some *good* sound clips to post after the install...

 

oops, forgot the pic...

 

very nice indeed.....

 

Awesome is all I can say! You will be happy with that setup. I don't think it will be too much even for your 305. Let us know the results when you get done installing everythingl

 

What did you end up paying for those items?
(If I may be so nosy)

 

2055's were $700, coating was $200, cat and muffler were about $150 each. all in $Canadian. not bad, since i was quoted as high as $900 for the headers. SLP's would have cost me over a grand... i'm getting the whole install and custom stainless for about $600.

 

LOL!! Don't let his Username confuse you..LOL!! This isn't fo any 305 that's for sure.

Go get em Fred!!

 

kaz! shh!

wow... the ravin kicks royal ***... makes the 305 sound kinda, well, mean... clips and pix to come...

 

LOL! Oh...OK!

 

out with the old

 

in with the new...

 

and more

 

What kind of cat is that in the first picture????? Looks nice.

 

well, the warranty slip says 'hermoff', but that wasn't the name on the box. wasn't anything i'd ever heard of - just a 3" universal from the local speed shop.

 

Thats nice man, any real perfomance gains? Does it sound good?

 

sounds killer. the SOTP gauge reads way up, but that could be anything from the plugs and wires to the new air filter too... highway run tomorrow will tell me more...

 

looks good fred. i really the liek the flat black look. did you get them coated here in town? and if so, where? i am sure those hookers will really help the new motor breath. i painted my hedman long tubes with dupli-colour ceramic high heat paint on wednesday. now i need to find an oven to bake them in.

 

got them coated at morton services... they're a sandblasting place out at bre-ex on exeter road. got the install done at tozer auto body off brydges...

 

that y pipe is 2.5" down tuebs to 3" hmmmmm that what i want. what did that header/y pipe combo run u. got a pic of the ground clearance? any raspy noises in that Y underload in high gear? can u get a pic of the cross member height and how much lower the middle of the Y is.

 

this is the only clearance pic i've got so far. i believe i have more clearance now than i did with the stock pipes. that thing that looks like a clamp is actually my mudflap/rockguard thingy.
first highway run is tomorrow, so don't know about the high gear raspy thing.
i hear you can get this set for $5-600 coated from jet-hot in the states.

 

that looks pretty good

 

get some nice vavle covers, clean the engine bay, and you'll have one badazz lookin/sounding car!

 

think i might wait for the 400 before i do the dress-up thing...

 

LOL!! Fred I thought you said SHHHHH!!!!! LOL!!

 

yeah, but i figured since the beans were already spilled...

 

dont tell me you spent 700 on those headers??????? they didnt use any kind of lube on you.

 

those were canadian prices. its prob. like 500 to 550 here depending on where you live

 

That's still really high .....

You can get those for way under 400 bucks most anywhere.

 

ceramic coated though?

Even the hedmans (68481) are $320 from jegs uncoated, then you factor in $200 for Jet-Hot coating, not including the shipping cost (another $40), now you're $560

 

305 tbi, hooker 2055's, 3" cat and stainless to ravin muffler. crappy gooseneck computer mic recorded through the hatch cuz i didn't have enough extension cord to get my mixer outside.

right click and "save as", then play in winamp or whatever...

ravin clip 1
ravin clip 2

 

Sounds good. Any clips of you driving? BTW is the ravin muffler 3 inch in and dual 3 inch out?

 

3" in dual 2.5" out - the website is wrong for the dimensions of the muffler... no clips driving yet...
