New Exhaust setup

here is the new exhaust that I had fabed up today by mw66nova. He did a great job on the ypipe and all, also had him weld in the new magnaflow muffler. check it out. Thanks again matt. and this car is lowered atleast 2 inches as the ground clearance is very good considering, and that is matts monster hand just to give ya an Idea

Re: New Exhaust setup

for referrence, my hand it pretty big, he's got a solid 3.5" clearance under there, and the car is somewhat lowered.

hey sean, can you edit your post so the pics go in decsending order instead of side-by-side?

Re: New Exhaust setup

oh. That would be awesome if you could. I live In Brewster Ny, Thats probably far from your family though because you said up state New York. I just listened to your car's exhaust on youtube, all I have to say is AMAZING!!!
I have a 305 with 3 inch flowmaster, aluminum edelbrock intake, and a supposed small energy cam. Would you think Long Tubes would be to much for my motor? Shorty's are just so much and I would rather have long tubes anyday.

Re: New Exhaust setup

....that sucks sean.

IROCjoyce, longtubes are never a bad thing in my opinion. the longer primary tube helps keep velocity/scavaging effects up, which helps draw the air out of the motor, thus producing more torque all through the rpm range and increasing upper rpm power. my fam lives in utica/illion area. i'm just not sure when i'll be getting up there again.

Re: New Exhaust setup

What was the center/rear portion of that Y-section built off of? A simple Y-pipe, like what you can buy from Summit/Jegs?

Yeah. I was wondering if you scratch fabbed it, or stared with a pre-made design, and went from there. Nice bends & welds!

Re: New Exhaust setup

Cool information on the long tubes. I would be thinkin summer anyways so it's warm out and I have a little more money. I just can't resist the way long tubes sound.

Thanks

Re: New Exhaust setup

I assume the same type of setup will work with the cheapo $175 long tubes for these cars. I have been looking at shorty headers and they just look way to $$$ for what they are. I weld so having great pics like these should enable me to put something similar together. Great job and thanks.

Re: New Exhaust setup

yeah this will work for any headers, I really like how wel it is put together. you want to make sure you have a chop saw that is what he used to cut the tubing. Like I posted I have alot more pics on my cardomain.
