In an attempt to give me a little more clearance from my ypipe banging I took some pipe and turned it into an oval shape. Im concerned though that it might not flow so well. What do you guys think?

*EDIT* How about now. Even if I did buy oval tubing I would still have to cut it this way. But since I have redone it what do you guys think now? I know my welding is horrid too.

You don't think I like that piece do you? I wouldn't run it myself. . .

knock yourself out chief.


also note the shape, 'oval' piping is just lateral elongated round piping. its not 'squished'.

Updated with pictures of a new pipe. Now what do you think?

Btw the motor mounts are poly.

Not to get off topic but which wheels are those on your car? Size and what not? They're sick.

brian_rs/ss

if i am not blind...those look like billet specialties.

Correct. Thanks for the complements! I dont remember the back spacing but they are 17x11 and 17x7. I do know the offset is the same as whet American Racing offers in those size wheels for f-bodies.

brian_rs/ss

yeah they look pretty sick.

also your new pics look much much better. i think you will happy with the clearance and flow.

k1ws6ta

One more question, again, sorry for hijacking...when you go 17x11 on the rear, is that what gives you the deeper dish?

brian_rs/ss

^yes. 11" wide rims have a decent lip on them.

k1ws6ta

Thanks. Wasn't sure if the width affected the lip or if it was just the offset.
