hey guys, some of you know i've been really debating on which exhaust to get...i talked to a few engine builders about my cam and motor, and they said go with dual 2.5's, or a single 3.5 or 4 inche like a mufflex or something....so i was checking out what mufflex has to offer, and i was looking at it with my dad, and he said i could make that same system at work with stainless....so it got me thinking, maybe i'll just do that, and run like a single 3.5 or 4" bullet muffler...the only downfall is, the bender at his work is a crinkle bender, not a mandrel bender....it doesn't crush the pipe, just puts like crinkles on the outside of the bend...so i talked to the same guys again, and they said i should go with a 4" because it would be more restrictive since it is crinkle bended....so they said i would have like the flow of a 3.5" system that is mandrel bent, and they said that would be good...my question is now, will a 4" go over the axle with all the clearance i need? my main concern is getting it up and over and clearing the panhard bar, becauses i hear alot of your guys have problem with that....should there enuf clearance...also they said since the exhaust is out the back it will be alot more tolerable than being dumped before the rear axle...you guys think i got a good idea with this system instead of dumpin it before the rear axle.....i figure if guys can fab up a dual 3" in factory location, i should be able to handle a single 4"....

 

Really tight back there around the rear axle. Be tough to buile a 4 inch system yourself. Might check the swap meets at various car sites and pick up a near new cat back system for not a lot of money.

 

i have no idea why there is 2 of these...under different names...that is really wierd...somebody can delete this thread...
