Take it from me....do it right or not at all.

I rigged it the cheap way...LT's, straight pipe and 2 flowmasters...

Needless to say it got torn off by a man-hole cover

I learned...I will not go duals now...I love my ground clearance with single 3''. I love my HOOKER catback...

if you go true duals, make sure you put an x pipe or h pipe in as well.

I had to go to true duals due to the fact my sfc's wouldnt fit with factory exhaust, here is my ground clearance.

Screamin87, where did the beam in the middle of your car go?
I have T-Tops on my 91, and if I'm not mistaken, there should be a beam going from the windshield to the hatch.. no?

thats a good question...i didn't even notice that it was missing. yes there is suppose to be a beam there. just an idea, but maybe he took it out to make a targa top.

No, and chances are great that the picture is edited to look that way. I only know of 2 members with real taga top projects and neither are close to finished and both are camaros.
I could be wrong but, I'd bet not if I were a betting man....

In the rear I have a solid rubber mount and made the hanger. I haven't gotten around to making a hanger for the middle portion yet.

Acctually I am in the middle of a targa conversion... A TARGA top is a car thats not a T-TOP but not Convertible either.. Example Vettes or vipers, or Porsche...

Exhaust.... I justhave cherry bombs.. TOO LOUD... but i havent got the chance to order bullets..
