It is a Mufflex 4 inch system that was chopped up. The 3.5 inch Y pipe, merge and tailpipe were fabricated by me. I sanded it all down, prepped it and painted it with Duplicolor 1200* ceramic paint. The paint has held up VERY well.


Again thanks guys, feels good that your peers like your heap!

PS, man it looks AWESOME with the hood painted!

Its all done, if I can get it to run in the 10's like it sits on drag radials, pumpgas @3800lbs and streetdrive it....that was the original goal. It went 11.25 its first time out. I will go back soon.


SOme spray and 295/65 drag radials are in the cars future.

What was the mph? on the 11.25 pass? I've gone 10's as low as 119/120 mph. My 60 ft was around 1.47 I think.

only other thing you have to change is brakes. they use a 3rd gen brake set-up but that is a bonus. 3rd gen brakes are cheaper if you havent bought light-weight brakes already.

That's cool you got 10 second potential, and the paint looks great I need to paint mine too, don't have any dents but still almost 10 years on the paint about time to make mine nice and shinny like that.

Hope you get into the 10 sec club soon. Remember what I said, fastest and cheapest way to go faster = reduce weight

Thinking about putting my little 125lb buddy in the seat and turning him loose to get the slip.

Car is a RIOT on the street!

Having a guy that weighs the same as a 11 year old boyscout doesn't make you in the 10 sec club if you're not driving

I became a member in 2002, but didn't have my old email anymore and forgot the password since I wasn't on for a long time. I finally got this account recovered, so the other one is being deleted, this will be my only account from now on.

That's my buddy's warehouse, it was a bit creepy. I should go back and take some video and have someone scream in it or something. We called it the meth lab.
