Finally got my lazy *** together and installed my Thrush Magnum glasspack, 2 1/4 slip on, as close as possible to the cat converter.

Manufactured front hanger, used sheet metal screws to attach to the body.

For the rear hanger I jerry rigged it for now by using two hose clamps, one around the muffler and the other one with a hole drilled in it to hang on the hook for the brake line.

I used a piece of old exhaust tubing, that was bent, and did a slant cut o nthe end of it, clamped it on the end of the glasspack so I now have an exchaust tip aiming the exhaust gases down towards the road.

Impression so far ? Only took it for a short ride, remember my engine is almost 100 percent stock, the Ultimate TBI mod and fuel injector spacer won't make it any louder. But I like it, it's deep but not as open and loud as without any muffler after the cat.

I'm sure it'll sound different once I install headers, ram air intake and also once the muffler is broken in a bit.

 

Dude hurry up and get those headers on!! LOL!!

I will, as soon as I get tubing, bend it in shape, get gaskets and find somewhere to weld the stuff, since my welding guy at work is worthless

Ya know, I would say the car sounds more "expensive" now. With no muffler after the cat it sounded louder, but kinda 'ol school and that was it, now it sounds performance muffled.

 

I like the way that it sounds brother. You did a good job putting it in too. I liked it. I should of brought you my welder to since I can't use it for the next 6 months lol!!

Bill

 

ROFLMAO

 

You should post a sound clip of your new stuff.

Bill

Yo here is one of the whole engine with the heater valve delete. I really like the way it looks now I just have to the take the entire car apart to the frame and get it painted and put it all back together lol!!

 

Oops. Sorry forgot the picture

 

Damn that's so much room already, I gotta do the AC delete ASAP !! *lol* Gotta have the smog stuff though but nope no need for AC

 

I know man there is so much room with out the heater valve. I mean I also did the AIR! and the EGR! too. When I get ride of the AC there will nothing in there except for p ussy wetting power.

Bill

 

hahahaha how about drivability without the EGR ? Fuel economy got worse ?
